Interesting Facts The world famous oil-well firefighter and accomplished lawnmower racer Dr. "Uncle Porky" Shomeyer lived in Alto Pass most of his life; he once single handedly saved an entire school bus of special education children from a forest fire near the local wildlife park "Rattlesnake Ferry." Porkchop, as he prefered to be called, was known for his daredevil antics -- he was known to jump his own house on the CR500 that he had named "The Baby-Maker."
Dr. Shomeyer also founded the University of Mud. This children's program was designed to keep kids away from drugs by getting them off the street and into a mudhole. It ran from November 1986 until April 1988, when an eleven-year-old boy lost his life in a horrific accident when Porkchop's CJ caught fire and remained half-submerged in a lake of mud for nearly an hour.
He currently resides in Pomona, IL near a large pond.
