Los Medanos College historian Charles Bohakel believes the boy in the photo sitting on the stack of drying trays is the late Victor Parachini, a longtime Oakley and Antioch resident who graduated from Riverview High School in 1916 and served on many local historical societies.
Ken Crockett of Oakley believes he recognizes the property as the drying yard owned by Volly Wilson, located near Crockett’s home. Others suggest this might be the Brentwood Irrigated Farms’ fruit cutting and drying yard.
Those with more details about the photo are invited to e-mail historian Carol Jensen at historian@byronhotsprings.com.
