Special to the Village News When you have lived in a community as long as I have lived in Fallbrook, you accumulate a lot of folklore about it. Some stories are funny and some are tragic and some might be OK to repeat to a friend but not proper to talk about in a publication like this. I am going to tell you a story today that has been related to me several times over the years by my uncle, Dode Martin. He is older than I am and has lived here even longer. This story is all...

From 1941 to 1946 the automobile industry in the U.S. was totally involved in the manufacturing of jeeps, tan...
In the Jan. 21 issue of the Village News, the C section cover feature is a full page dedicated to the purchase of the County's former HHSA (Health & Human Services Agency) building by Mission Resource Conservation District. It brought back to my mind my own association with the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) years ago. In the early 1950s, I was employed with the SCS when the office was located near the middle of town on Main Street. Ben Mock and Jim Bosanko were field...
