This Month's Question
The 10th Annual Daffodil Tea  fundraiser will be held on April 25 and is highlighted with tours of the 1901 St. Peter's Chapel. How many Tiffany stained glass windows are contained in the Chapel?

The correct answer will be rewarded with two PIER 39 Premier Passports. Email your answer here.

Congratulations to Cynthia Seguin from Vallejo whose name was drawn from those who correctly answered “The New Marine World Theme Park” to last month’s question: Before the park’s current name Six Flags Discovery Kingdom their name was Six Flags Marine World. What was the park’s name before Six Flags Marine World?
 

Did you know that Vallejo's own Jeff Wilson was the low amateur at the 2000 U.S. Open Golf Tournament at Pebble Beach?
And check out this aerial photo of West Vallejo taken in 1970 and includes at top of the hill the then new Springbrook Masonic Temple.
