He also freelanced for Senior and Plus magazines. He was president of the Fresno Press Club and a member of the Society of American Travel Writers and the California Chicano News Media Association. He was commended by the California State Legislature with a State Resolution in 1987 and was honored with the 1987 Community Recognition Award by the Fresno chapter of the Chicano Media Association.
