/
Wichels, Ernest
[812]
[WICHELS-1964-812]
As Parish Bros. bulldozers and steam shovels level the blocks of the Redevelopment area in southwest Vallejo, they do more than merely create dust and dirt in the downtown stores.

Old Time News Writing
/
Wichels, Ernest
[775]
[WICHELS-1963-775]
Like women's fashions, automobile bodies and hair-dos, the style of reporting news also changes with the years. In our research the past few weeks, poring over the century-old editions of our Vallejo newspapers, we have gleaned some amusing stories. The most interesting aspect is that the city editor, in the olden days, always editorialized in his reporting. Today no city desk would dare to do so.

Orders For Mare Island
/
Wichels, Ernest
[772]
[WICHELS-1963-772]
We oldsters often date ourselves by the fashions we wear, by the tunes we hum, or by the furniture we insist on keeping. Today we are going to date the Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Most everyone knows that our great naval plant is 109 years old but it is interesting to read the thousands of Commandants' Orders and Notices which serve as milestones of the past century.

Before it was Grizzly Island, was it 'Grisly'?
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[291]
[ECHOS-1996-291]
Some old timers would say Grizzly Island was named from the days when the grizzlies called the island home. That the bears from Mount Diablo came to feed on the island's wild hips and blackberries. Supposedly in those days they were said to be able to cross at a point where the lands of Contra Costa and Solano very nearly met and where the water was quite shallow.

Benicia-Martinez Bridge makes history
/
Bowen, Jerry
[61]
[WAYITWAS-2001-61]
A letter from Ross Noonan brought an error to my attention in the article about the ferryboat Solano, published January 7. At the end of the article I indicated the Carquinez Bridge was responsible for putting the Solano out of business. Well, that was the wrong bridge and wrong year. I should have stuck to the rule of checking my facts from at least two verifiable sources [...]

History Overlooked Some Vacaville Names
/
Rico, John
[936]
[RICO-1979-936]
BITS OF NEWS ABOUT PEOPLE IN OUR PAST - Quite often the unpublished quirks or idiosyncrasies of individuals in our past have escaped historians or news writers. It should be interesting to go back, pick out some of these people, and relate a few squibs which made these people a bit unique to their neighbors and friends. Constable Joe Stadtfeld is mentioned in this article..

Days Of May 114 Years Ago

Wichels, Ernest
[799]
[WICHELS-1964-799]
