My parents were included with a friend Gene Marques who took us to Methodist Church suppers. He had three daughters my family had three girls too. Dad Gene worked together at Mare Island. So. wanted to see if he was included. Many pictures do not have all the names of all persons in the photos.Also purchased the history of Suisun CA.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great pictures and captionsBy rozillaThe book has great pictures and captions. However. I bought it as a part of research and would have liked to see some facts with the captions. Other than that. it was great. I came from vallejo and feel proud that theres a strong filipino community from vallejo and that its acknowledged in this book. I would recommend it to everyone who comes from vallejo and is Filipino. I would recommend it to history teachers. Its our history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A trip down memory laneBy Eddie S. LastraReading this book brought back a lot of fun memories of growing up in Vallejo in the 60s and 70s. Appreciate all the efforts that were put into this book.
