During his 85 years, he played a large role in shaping the economic and physical landscape of Kings County. He was a public speaker, champion wrestler and rancher who became one of the most influential water lawyers in California and also played a role in securing a naval air station for Kings County. He was born in Hanford, CA., in 1914, becoming part of the third generation of Griswolds to farm in Kings County. His grandfather Oscar had brought his family to Hanford in 1888 and started to ranch. At Hanford High Lyman was often honored for his speaking ability, and he took that talent to University of California, Berkeley, where he was in the Senate Debating Society. He also excelled at wrestling, and tried out for the 1936 Olympics, placing second. Lyman was married to Olga Telonicher for 58 years, and together they had three children: Craig Griswold, who followed his father into law and ranching, Margot Griswold, PhD., and Charlotte Griswold-Tergis. There now are three grandsons, who are the fifth generation of Griswold ranchers. Once Lyman earned his economics and law degree from Berkeley, he returned to Hanford and went to work for the district attorney, Roger Walch. Griswold and Walch eventually opened their own practice, the oldest in Hanford, and it currently runs under the name Griswold, Lasalle, Cobb, Dowd & Gin. Lyman is to be remembered for many things, but it was his involvement with farming cooperatives, as a water lawyer that he changed the agricultural face of Kings County. He had a long career in water law, with a constant advocate of keeping water costs low and water practices fair. Lyman and his wife Olga, a devout Catholic, brought up their children in the Catholic faith although he never severed his ties with First United Methodist Church.
