Elfie’s End Game Party
Family, friends and compadres of George Elfie Ballis held a farewell party for him on Sunday, November 22. Ballis is a long time cornerstone of Fresno’s progressive community. He has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Some at the party said they will remember Elfie as the family photographer for social justice activists in this area, while others remembered him for his work (Elfie would probably use the word “dance” rather than work) with National Land for People (a land reform movement), or from the time he spent taking world famous photos of the United Farmworker movement. At the party, held at SunMt, where Elfie and his wife Maia live, people shared music, laughter, and celebrated a life well lived. We will miss you Elfie!
