Chico attorney Ron Reed’s life falls into two distinct chapters: One of getting, and one of giving.
Before turning 47, he was a land developer in Wyoming, trying to earn enough money so he could do nothing after retirement. After 47, he retired, sold out everything in Wyoming, and moved to Chico, but then attended McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, beginning a busy second half of his life.
