The Farr family from which Sam springs is a very old Monterey county family with acreage on the Big Sur Coast. Sam's father was the congressman for years and Sam slid into Daddy's shoes about 20 or more years ago, I believe. We knew George and Charlene Snell quite well years back when we were in our bridge playing days. Charlene died a couple of years ago of a brain tumor and George's brother Steve still runs the radio station? I don't know if there is any connection between them and the Farr family of Monterey County but I doubt it.
