- This film came from Catherine Campbell in Alaska, Armijo High School Class of 1949. Her father ran Campbell Printing in Suisun City for many years.(where the theatre is now). She found it in his processions and sent to longtime Fairfield resident and Armijo class of 1949 grad Art Engell when they had their 50th Class reunion in 1999. Art put it on a return reel and it along with a tape from fellow 1949 grad Pat Morita who was unable to attend and it played all night.--Nanciann Gregg, co-founder of the Armijo Alumni Association, Inc.
I'm liking this so much because my father was born and raised in Fairfield, CA. A lot of family lived there. My mother spent one year at Armijo High. This was in 1950. Dad graduated Armijo in 1949. I love the city. I love this music. Thank you for this wonderful video.❤
My dad graduated from Armijo in 1949...its really cool seeing Fairfield how he saw it. Thank you for sharing.
My Family’s Ranch was/is in Fairfield. All of my siblings were born in Fairfield. I saw my Uncle Vince and Aunt Lorraine Valine in your video. Thank you so much, that was special. I was hoping to see my Mom and Dad but didn’t see them. I loved this whole video, great era.
Super cool n nice 👍🏽

We moved to Fairfield in 1950. I remember the town being like
this footage like it was yesterday. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Tony Wade. The music really added some character! Good to see the old courthouse and the palm trees. Nice period piece with the cars, clothing... Great job!
loved this...definitely a kinder gentler time...
Thanks for sharing this Tony and Catherine. Great look back.
This is great, Tony! Thanks so much!
The University of Alaska at Anchorage, has I machine that copy's damaged films and I believe that this one is also in their collection as a copy. This film helped me decide what to do with some journals I saved from the landfill. (journals were related to Alaska history)
I like the dance scene, " hey mac! let me cut in , I wanna dance with this dame"
This is so interesting to watch
They should advertise in the local papers and tell them to watch this video to see if anyone recognizes any past family members.

The Farifield-Suisun Army Air Base is now Travis Air Force Base!

@@jonnyblayze5149 before I take your opinion in consideration how bout telling us were you are from Mr. Jonnyblaze 5149
11:30 or so... looks like someone was in the midst of robbing a business. Mask over face, walking in brandishing a pistol... didn't seem to notice the camera man
I think it was staged. I noticed the guy putting on the bandana and carrying the gun too. The scene immediately switched to the police department getting the call, then to the officers going out and apprehending the “robber.”
1:40 Is that airbase is what later became Travis AFB?
Yes
Correct that is now Travis AFB.
Nah it became the other base in Fairfield 🙄
Its sad that in all likely hood everyone you see in this video is dead.
Except for of course possibly some of the kiddies😏
My family landed in Travis 1957. Moved to one of the new housing tracks in Fairfield eventually. Lovely town I always thought. Orange blossom fragrance. Loved my friends. Back in the day Suisun was section 8. Literally the other side of the tracks. Now they fixed up old Suisun and put section 8 in our old white neighborhoods. Strange racial divide. White supremacy 👿
Suisun was not Section 8! There was the old town where I lived but the other part was the Airmen's town, where all the Travis Air Force families lived ! With 5 kids in our family, the Travis kids were over at our house constantly! We knew nor cared about any differences between us! Black, white, Hawaiian, NO differences! WE all went to school together, formed lifelong bonds and had the best childhoods!
