Presentation about Dr. Frederick H. Matteson and Book Signing
2025-12-10 19:00 - 21:00 | San Benitio County Historical Society Museum, 498 Fifth Street, Hollister, CA, 95023, United States
When Dr. Frederick H. Matteson passed away, he left his estate to the Community Foundation for San Benito County to help improve the lives of people in our community with dimentia and other intellectul difficulties.
This special presentation will include details about Fred’s life and provide an opportunity to purchase the book, “Time Well Spent,” a biography about Fred written by Sharlene Van Rooy.
A TRUE RENAISSANCE MAN WHO SOARED THROUGH LIFE WITH GRACE
Fred H. Matteson was destined to be involved with aviation from the day he was born. As an Aeronautical Engineer, he dreamed of someday designing his own glider, but he was also grounded by his love of the bicycle. Fred traveled the world to witness his contemporaries achieve lofty goals and to see places he only read about in books. His life experiences were intertwined with his passion for art and music, capturing his love of flying among the cumulus clouds in a composition titled, “Soaring.”
“Time Well Spent” is a collection of personal narratives–letters Fred wrote to his folks and articles published in “Soaring”–interwoven with life-long friendships and significant milestones.
Sharlene Van Rooy lives in Hollister, CA and is a member of the San Benito County Historical Society. This is her first book, a project driven by her zeal for local history and her desire to share Fred’s life story and the legacy he gave to the community.
