Theresa Eve (1964)

A Christmas Past, 1950s before the Eve family moved back to Woodland.  Just started building the home on 6 North McKinley. We were living in Dixon, California, visiting my Aunt June, who lived in an apartment on Walnut Street.  She is in her nurses uniform ready to go to the Woodland Clinic, head night nurse.  Mother was pregnant with JoAnne.  Dad had just been duck hunting. I have fur slippers-shared by Valerie Hunt the little girl in the blue. I was in the second grade in Dixon. Maybe share some Christmas pictures, years ago.

Sorry, Theresa.  Your Christmas photos of old is a nice idea, and I did find one, but I don't seem to have a clue as to how to add it on to this page from my Google photos.  Looking at these old memories (mine was from 1953) does indeed take us right back to that time and place in our past.  Happy holidays to all...

1950's attempt at a Christmas picture...

Thank you Julie.  You look just like your Mother.  How sweet you all are, Mary, Julie, Fred and Billie in the back..

My Christmas in Woodland contribution. Myself and my twin brother Tom (RIP). Circa 1948? Somewhere along Main Street at one of the department stores. JC Penney's? P.S. We were always careful with our Red Ryder BB guns...

Jim Taylor (1964)

I took this picture near College and Main St.  At the last reunion I promised Lucky Pulson I would post it if I could find it. It was same day as Homecoming Parade 1964.  Others are Mike Young and Larry Justice...no sure about driver.  Might be Lucky.

Jim, I love your Chevy.  What a great 1964 memory to share.  The cars tell the story. You are in front of The Fashion!  Great dresses sold there, I know I bought there. Merry Christmas to all our Woodland High School Classmates. And a Happy New Year 2025.

Christmas 1950, 18 5th street Woodland - Greg and my sister Sue! The year I got TinkerToys for my "Santa Present" :-)

Theresa Eve (1964)

Jim, Julie and Greg your 1950's pictures are so so the style I remember.  What darn cute kids you all were, just precious.  Greg your Mother did a lot of work to put all that tinsel on the tree, prefect job.  Great pictures of Christmas Past. Jim, love your great Chevy Impala from 1964.

One more from the old days Christmas 1953, with sister Sue,

Theresa Eve (1964)

Greg, you and Sue never change.  You look the same.  Sue is always the beauty. Great Christmas Picture.  Does anyone have a picture of Epperson's Christmas Tree ?  That was always a showroom to see at Christmas.

Dee (Marilee) Damsen (Kindelt) (1965)

To the class of '65:  It is with sad news again - we lost another classmate - Maryln March passed away on Dec 20.  Prayers and condolences to her sister Marci.  


12/23/24 09:51 PM #8141    

Dee (Marilee) Damsen (Kindelt) (1965)

I understand that there are TWO M. Marches that went to WHS - One from the class of 63 (Marilyn March) and Maryln March from the class of 65.  The one that I posted was for my classmate (Maryln) who just recently passed away.  I can only assume that the Marilyn from the class of 63 is still with us - sorry for the confusion.

Joan Richter (Lucchesi) (1960)

Dee: This is my fault. I have posted it correctly to 1965 Marilyn and have contacted (emailed) Gary to help edit Maryln 1963, I am sorry for the confusion. I am out of town and will call Gary when we return to Woodland after Christmas.

A Christmas Past, Woodland did have wreath decorations and red Bells across the Main Street.  It did snow in Woodland, I remember that event.

Historical Bidwell Mansion in Chico, once used as classrooms for Chico State Teachers.  Has burned. 


12/27/24 12:57 PM #8145    

 

Theresa Eve (1964)

 

Bidwell Mansion in Chico after the recent fire, December 11, 2024.  Not sure how they can restore.  Correction it was December 11th.  There is a forthcoming meeting to plan to continue to restore the Bidwell Mansion even after this fire.  


12/27/24 02:19 PM #8146    

JoAnn Kergel (Wirth) (1965)

Beyond sad.  Spent many hours wandering around this wonderful old house in the 70's.  Such much lost history.


12/27/24 03:21 PM #8147    

 

Theresa Eve (1964)

Joann, you are so correct. My Mother took her Home Economics Classes in the Bidwell Home.  I always wanted to go through it.  It was just being restored.  I did read that they are trying to get the State of California to continue the remodel even after this fire.

Paul Lieberum (1968)

I've been living in Chico since 1984 and the Mansion burning is definitely a gut punch to the entire communty. I'm also involved with the Heritage Association and preservation of historic structures. So far, from what I can gather, people are split on whether to rebuild or not. Some of the original furnishings, drapes, carpets, etc. were removed for the restoration prior to the fire so do exist and the Eureka company that was doing the millwork restoration say thet they can remake all of it. There is a public meeting scheduled for January 25th for the public to discuss it's future (unfortunately, Ill be gone then). The other factor is that it is a State Park so they will have the final say. They also know it was arson but haven't released any more info as the investigation continues

Dee (Marilee) Damsen (Kindelt) (1965)

I hesitated the following message for the class of 65 - was not sure about the information however now it seems to be official - another 65 classmate has passed away:  Brian Jenks.  So to all his family members which includes the Yolo Tech family, condolences.


12/30/24 11:38 AM #8150    

 

Theresa Eve (1964)

Marilee:  So sad to hear that Brian has passed.  I saw him at one class reunion and had spoken with Brian.  Yolo Cacheville connections for sure.  Thank you for this message.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year 2025.  Pretty far from 1960s.  The very best to all!!  Thank you Greg for the first wish.

Theresa Eve (1964)

 Back to normal times, after the holidays.  Wish things were as slow as the olden days, as this picture of Woodland, 1948.  I was 2 years old in 1948.   Many changes.
