Helping to preserve Solano County's yore / Bowen, Jerry [496] [WAYITWAS-2004-496]
How the past is used or abused can have an important bearing on how a community or county perceives itself. Preservation and promotion of a county's collective past is a logical goal for any self-respecting people. 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.

'Esther Days' Will Long Be Remembered / Rico, John [918] [RICO-1979-918]
BOOK LEARNIN - Vacaville residents cannot say they have been deprived of access to book learning throughout our past history. Events will prove that as far back as 1858 there were attempts made to provide a library service to the few people who resided here.
