Meet Cleo Gordon Elementary school's namesake
/
Dingler, Nancy
[463]
[RETROSPECT-2000-463]
Have you ever wondered how local places, like streets and schools get their names? For example, it is obvious that Fairfield High is named after the town, but did you know that Armijo High was named after the family that had the large Spanish land grant it sits on? Historically, people want to honor prominent, successful people by naming places for them.

Dried onions: Basic ingredient in K-rations

Delaplane, Kristin
[226]
[ECHOS-1995-226]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Museum, the Vacaville Heritage Council and The Reporter archives. Some events in a town's history leave a more memorable mark than was ever suspected at the time. Such is the story of Basic Vegetable Products. The original Vacaville location of Basic's operation was a tin shed on the Uhl ranch, where Shock's Furniture Interiors and Longs Drugs are currently situated on Monte Vista Avenue

Law was passed closing saloons on election day to quell rioting
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[763]
[WAYITWAS-2007-763]
Our recent local elections with low voter turnout and disinterested citizens had me look at earlier elections in Solano County. With today's well-regulated and orderly campaign and voting system in mind, 19th century elections read more like a riot.

[WAYITWAS-2007-738]

Christmas - A Time for Remembering Friends
/
Rico, John
[906]
[RICO-1979-906]
I fail to become excited over poetry, but the lines above are of interest because they were written in 1960 by a man who was not only familiar to me, but to the entire community. It was the late C.J. Uhl, extensive rancher and Vacaville councilman and mayor who wrote this bit of wisdom, and although written nearly 20 years ago, his thoughts could well fit into today's atmosphere.
