Early Solano / Wichels, Ernest [784] [WICHELS-1964-784]

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.

Solano County offers many ways to see past / Delaplane, Kristin [387] [ECHOS-1998-387]
But last week's list told only half the story. History centers can also be found in and around the cities of Rio Vista, Benicia and Vallejo. Like their counterparts in the central and northern Solano County, these centers also rely on volunteers to fulfill their missions.

Seals And Shoplifters / Wichels, Ernest [845] [WICHELS-1964-845]

Hoodlums, Then, Now / Wichels, Ernest [844] [WICHELS-1964-844]
Vallejo is being plagued with a rash of broken windows, damaged automobiles, purse-snatchings, and other acts of hoodlumism. A common observation is: "What is happening to our society?" or "How did this all start?" Apparently many people believe this is all new.

The Turkey Is Unchanged / Wichels, Ernest [859] [WICHELS-1964-859]
Thanksgiving has always meant turkey (even though cooked on a wood stove) , but the day has changed in many other ways. Up to 50 years ago this city and county invariably celebrated Thanksgiving Eve with a Masquerade Ball.

The White Sulphur Spring / Wichels, Ernest [850] [WICHELS-1964-850]

Golden Poppies / Wichels, Ernest [796] [WICHELS-1964-796]
Local gardens as well as the countryside are ablaze these April days with our state flower-Eschscholtzia Californica. This golden poppy is deservedly the most celebrated and one of the more popular western flowers. Have you ever wondered why they seem most plentiful along the railway rights-of-way throughout California? Particularly along the railroads in Napa and Sonoma counties: between Sacramento and Auburn; and along the Southern Pacific tracks on the Coast route.

Horseless Carriages / Wichels, Ernest [776] [WICHELS-1963-776]
This past week we learned that another American-made automobile passes from the scene. Studebaker has been a by-word for over 60 years. But this has happened to automobiles in America just about 5,100 times in the past 65 years! We are indebted to Manager Charles Monahan of the local Calif. State AA Office for an informative pamphlet on American-made automobiles--from Abbott (1909) to Zust (1908).
