I remenber Bill and Kathys restaurant  because I worked at the Standard Station next door on old Highway 99.  I would meet my furture father-in-law Bob Boles for Lunch and Dinner.  He was from Arbuckle along with my wife Sharyn Boles. We have been married  for 58 yrs.  How time flys.  Sometimes all three of us would meet at Bill and Kathys..  We would see Kathy Strong, whose grandparents were Bill and Kathy, at the Celebrity Golf Tournament at Edgewoon Tahoe. Sharyn and I have talked to Janis Goodman about Bill and Kathys a lot.  She was from Dunnigan.

Here is another picture of SP 4405, from the Woodland History 1930.  This site does not always work to load pictures.

I'm sorry to inform everyone that Marilee Damsen Kindelt passed away suddenly earlier this week.

Theresa Eve (1964)

John Davis, thank you for this notice of Marilee Damsen Kindelt passing.  Joann Wirth just sent me a personal notice also.  This makes me very sad to learn.  Marilee and I have been in contact over the years.  She was one to always volunteer her time. I knew Marilee all through the classes at Cacheville School  in Yolo and Woodland High School.  One smart and pretty lady always.

                                              HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026 to all!!!!!

Bernard Rocksvold (1965)

Happy New Year to everyone. May we all survive another year healthy and happy!

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

And the same to you Bernie!! Welcome to the second quarter of the new century!! What was happening Jan 1, 1962, the year we would graduate? The Beatles unsucessfully auditioned for Decca Records, and at that time, Ringo had not joined the band. The drummer was Pete Best! How about the other classes that graduated in the 1960-1969? 

Theresa Eve (1964)

We had a lovely big High School in those 1960s.  A lot of folk music like the Kingston Trio from San Franciso, the Hungry I; plus Peter, Paul and Mary.  Elvis was holding his own and looking handsome, 1960 "Its Now or Never". Then Elvis, Viva Las Vegas with Ann Margret - May 1964.  A great team.

   This Photo was shared on the Woodland Site, by John Dark.  It shows the Nugget Market originally on 416 Main Street next to Penney's.  Family owned by Mack and William Stille, stared September 28, 1926.  I remember going into Penney's.  It had two floors to shop from. Wooden floors.  

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

thanks for posting that photo of the first Nugget, Theresa. I can remember going to the Nugget with mom; maybe the 1950's. I can remember that the entrance was on Main Street, buyt not sure if it was that building??

Bill &Kathys was a great place  I took my 1996 Chico high school tennis team there for lunch on the way to a tennis match  They appreciated the history and food since I bought!

Joel Childers (1966)

On Jan 3, 1966, the NFL Championship game was broadcast in color for the very first time. Who remembers the day in 1966 when the evening news introduced color tv to the world? Who had a color tv? Not my family. In 1966, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys and The Beatles all had top hits from their respective innovative albums, Blonde on Blonde, Pet Sounds, and Revolver. In 1966, a Supreme Court decision established the Miranda rights. In 1966, the USSR became the first country to land a rocket on the moon.

Jan. 1, 1966 arrived home on first leave after basic training and tech school, US Air Force.

This was the phone we used.  

Bernard Rocksvold (1965)

I still own our families first phone number, and it is still active, however I never use it because of spam calls.

Theresa Eve (1964)

I have two slimline Pacific Bell, landline phones which I use at home; with an answering machine.  Have a cell also, but really like my hard working Pacific Bell phones.  Nice to know if the cell towers are down, I have a workable phone. 

Josefa Catalan (Matthews) (1962)

I remember our first phone number, before prefixes were added.  My mom had that number until she passed in 2010.  Who remembers the prefix name and when it went from numbers to the name?

Bill Means (1961)

Gee that's easy: MOHAWK 2-9173.

We had a phone since we moved back to Woodland in 1946.

Originally an operator would ask: "Number please".

Mom told me - little Billy - call your dad and make sure he'll be home at 6:00 for dinner - to get ME out of her kitchen.

Mom told me later in life I picked up the phone and asked to talk to MY DAD. The operator knew who I was and where my dad was and dad's secretary answered and the operator said: Billy is on tthe phone for his dad. Those were the days when everyone in Woodland knew everyone else and Woodland was perfect.

Back to the original question: With the Pac Bell operator in 1946 our number was 1405. Later when the dial phones were installed it was 9173 - the phone switch building was at Second and Lincoln NW corner and you could hear the relays clicking.

Later MOhawk was added and later 662 came into being. Then all pay phones were made xxx-9xxx ( oh come on - you do remember PAY phones don't you? )  the number 9 so all 662-9xxx phones were changed and ours is still 662-7173.

Yes, mine is on an answering machine, but if a person I know is calling I answser in on one of my Princess phones next to my TV chair.

I love all the history you 60-69 classmates come up with!   Go Wolves!

Theresa Eve (1964)

Love the phone history!  Our number was the Mohawk 662-8331.  Remeber it so clearly, always calling Mother when I moved to Sacramento, especially after Dad passed.  It was a daily routine to call Mother.  Miss those calls.  Those were the days!!  Thank you Bill and Josefa, great moments. Mother use to see your Mother Josefa at the farmers market, she would tell me she saw her.

Growing up (?) our phone number was 662-5267, which my mother kept even during moves, including her senior care facility.  When my younger brother (Rob) moved back from New Zealand after our mother died, he called the phone company and was able to get our old number assigned to him in his home.  Rob eventually moved back to New Zealand, so our old number is no longer in the family.  Back in our younger days, we knew everyone's phne numbers.  Now that we have all our numbers stored in our cell phones, I don't have to remember any numbers, which is blessing now that I am in my 80's and suffer from CRS!

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

I can't remember if our number ever was a "4 number", but it had the "2 prefix" when I got this "dogtag" with our street address, phone number, and name in the second grade? Mom and dad had this numberr until they moved to the ranch at Knights Landing in 1983. I had a "land line" here in Davis up unti a few months ago when I was told that they were going to drop keeping the  copper wires alive. That phone wire also carried the DSL for the computer, so I had to swap to cable and dropped the land line, but still have the original wall phone.
