6908.	Teachers and pupils had some challenges / Bowen, Jerry [560] [WAYITWAS-2005-560] When our family moved from North Dakota to California in 1950, I was in the eighth grade.

Care of indigent patients had rude beginnings / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [555] [WAYITWAS-2004-555] Increasing population numbers during the 1860s in Solano County made the creation of a central institution to treat ill residents a necessity. While patients normally were nursed at home by dedicated family members, assisted by a doctor, those who could neither afford medical care nor didn't have family, needed another source of care.
