/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[4]

Helping to preserve Solano County's yore
/
Bowen, Jerry
[496]
[WAYITWAS-2004-496]

Indeed, pride in the past is seeing resurgence lately as more and more of our precious history is bulldozed under for redevelopment. It takes dedicated people who aren't afraid to work hard in order to set aside some of our precious history in Solano County for future generations.

Mentioning the Vacaville Pruners' Strike, also known as the Vacaville Riots, still evokes unease in many residents, though 70 years have passed since then.
