Buildings That Are Old, New / Wichels, Ernest [807] [WICHELS-1964-807]

Another Year Is History / Wichels, Ernest [779] [WICHELS-1964-779]
The year 1963 is now another page of the past. Much happened in tragedy, space science, international politics, the curb on nuclear testing, etc. Future historians will tell future generations what was important; we all are too close to the picture to make the appraisal today.

Early Solano / Wichels, Ernest [784] [WICHELS-1964-784]
A common human weakness is to predict the future. Sometimes the vision we see in the crystal ball may, by coincidence, come true. The editor of the Vallejo Recorder, in July and August of 1867, published a series of articles on Solano County communities and speculated on their development.

Problems Not New / Wichels, Ernest [783] [WICHELS-1964-783]
Too frequently we read of some "new" development to improve the economy; or hear someone wonder what has happened to modern youth; or see a reference to the shipyard "crisis."
