Making a life in Vallejo wasn't easy for the Gills / Bowen, Jerry [862] [WAYITWAS-2008-862]

If I was a politician I guess I could say I "misspoke" but truth is always better.

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.
