6774.	Course was spelled out for pupils 100 years ago / Bowen, Jerry [735] [WAYITWAS-2007-735] In my last column we took a sneak preview of what it was like for school students back in 1909. I thought you might find it quite interesting how much of an education you had to have just to enter high school. In 1911, the Solano County Schools Board of Education issued a book of "Rules for Promotion and Graduation" and a "List of Supplementary Reading Books." Detailed record - Similar records
6775.	Construction took off in building an Army airfield / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [734] [WAYITWAS-2007-734] My recent columns on the wartime housing boom in response to the incoming personnel for the Fairfield-Suisun Army Air Field led me to look a bit closer at the early years of Travis Air Force Base.

6776.	Snapshots of an era / Bowen, Jerry [733] [WAYITWAS-2007-733] Among the collections at the Vacaville Heritage Council and the Solano County Genealogy Society at the Old Town Hall on East Main Street are yearbooks from Solano County Schools dating back as far as the late 1890s. These publications are a treasure that help historians gain some insight into past attitudes, styles of dress, and pride in school and community and to perhaps learn something valuable from the "good old days."

6777.	Story of Monticello Dam flows with water needs / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [731] [WAYITWAS-2007-731] In a few weeks, Solano County will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Monticello Dam. The dam made possible the creation of Lake Berryessa, which fulfilled a vision of earlier to secure a reliable water supply for local farmers and city residents. Detailed record - Similar records
6778.	Painting a tale of pink houses, spiral staircases / Bowen, Jerry [730] [WAYITWAS-2007-730] In my last column, we went over the history of the Perry family and the house that was built in the 1860s that still stands, although probably not for long. The last of the Perry family, Clyde, will vacate the house just before demolition, likely in the near future. Detailed record - Similar records
6779.	Air base doubles Solano's Population / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [729] [WAYITWAS-2007-729] The mid 1940's saw an unprecedented population growth in the Vacaville and Fairfield areas, due to the incoming personel for the new Fairfield-Suisun air base. For several years, both cities struggled to accommodate their new residents. Federal Housing Public Authority projects such as Waterman Park in Fairfield and Vaca Valley Acres in Vacaville were built quickly. Detailed record - Similar records
6780.	Aging structures in county spotlight / Bowen, Jerry [727] [WAYITWAS-2007-727] Before I launch into this column I need to let several people who e-mailed me with questions know that my trusty old portable computer went up in smoke, and I lost all the questions. So, if I haven't answered you in the last month or so, try again. Detailed record - Similar records
6781.	Population lifted off after airfield built / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [728] [WAYITWAS-2007-728] Construction of the Fairfield-Suisun Army Airfield in 1943 brought a large number of new residents to the local communities, doubling population overnight. Calls went out for rentals and vacant rooms with only minimal results. With the base scheduled to open soon, personnel stationed there would bring their families as well.

6782.	Suisun roared ahead in twenties / Bowen, Jerry [725] [WAYITWAS-2007-725] What is today Suisun City has had its ups and downs over the years and in the mid-1920s was gaining a reputation as a prosperous and desirable place to live. Detailed record - Similar records
6783.	Army airfield construction fuels housing plans / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [723] [WAYITWAS-2007-723] Local cities today struggle to accommodate population increases. Vacaville, Fairfield and Suisun faced similar challenges in the later years of World War II, when construction of the new Fairfield-Suisun Army Air Field brought hundreds of new residents.
