Wichels, Ernest
[852]
[WICHELS-1964-852]
It is difficult for most of us, living in the year 1964, to realize the advantages we possess over those available to Vallejo residents or Mare Island personnel just a hundred years ago. We take our freeways, radio and TV, dial telephones with direct connections to New York or Hawaii, automobiles, airplanes, etc., for granted.

/
Wichels, Ernest
[798]
[WICHELS-1964-798]
Carter Heights was the earlier name for the present Vallejo Heights. Likewise, how many of our readers remember Fremont Street? Many of Vallejo's prominent residents, half a century or so ago, lived on Fremont.

A Bit Of This And That
/
Wichels, Ernest
[858]
[WICHELS-1964-858]
It rained this past week-considerably above November's 91-year average of about 1.80 inches. But earlier Vallejoans saw much more moisture than we've had. November of 1885 had 6.6 inches; November of 1926 a total of 6.2 inches. And 1875, 1892, 1913 and 1934 recorded 5-inch rainfalls in November.

Ranch Towns In Two Areas
/
Wichels, Ernest
[854]
[WICHELS-1964-854]
Most people think of Vallejo strictly a shipyard city. Many find it difficult to believe that once it qualified as a "ranch town." Ranchowners, the hundreds of employes in dairy operations, cattle and sheep raising, and grain and hay harvests, formed a vital segment of Vallejo's economy in early days.

More On Hospitals
/
Wichels, Ernest
[789]
[WICHELS-1964-789]
Last Sunday we discussed the hospital facilities or, rather, lack of such facilities available to Solano County and Vallejo residents form 1849. Today we will go into some detail concerning the medical and nursing care Vallejoans have had since that date.

Grandfather's New Year's Eve
/
Wichels, Ernest
[778]
[WICHELS-1963-778]
We've reviewed the New Year's Eve celebrations of earlier generations of Vallejoans. A half century and more ago there was one program which was inevitable. This was the formal grand ball attended by all of the officials and leaders in the community, usually followed by a generous meal sometime around midnight.

Native American ghosts residing in Suisun?
/
Dingler, Nancy
[474]
[RETROSPECT-2002-474]
The young mother whirled around in horror when she detected the sound of the car rolling on the gravel. She let out a scream as her son, who was playing in front of the car, disappeared under its wheels.

Seals And Shoplifters
/
Wichels, Ernest
[845]
[WICHELS-1964-845]
Readers of earlier Vallejo newspapers saw items which seem strange to the subscribers of today, yet there is a great deal of similarity in some of the problems both then and now.

Old Rocks, Other Items
/
Wichels, Ernest
[809]
[WICHELS-1964-809]
No one thinks of Vallejo as a former "mining town" and most of Solano County's residents will probably say that the only "mineral" in the county is the natural gas produced in the southern and eastern sections.

Early Vallejo Race Tracks
/
Wichels, Ernest
[806]
[WICHELS-1964-806]
The Solano County Fair is here and the horses are running! This is a young Fair but many Solano and Napa residents may have the impression that racing is "new" to these counties. Have you ever heard of Vallejo's Hollywood Track, or Vallejo's Cyclodrome, or Napa's Race Track?
