The Second Twenty Years, Plus Seven

CARE is beginning an open-ended project to write an informal history of the last 27 years at Chabot, Las Positas and the District. 

Some of you will remember Chabot history professor Dr. Ted Staniford, who wrote a small book, Chabot: The First Twenty Years, about the college’s beginning and its development over our first two decades. Our new effort will take a different and collaborative approach. We are inviting all CARE members members to write a piece of any length and any style about any memory they have of the years between 1981, when Staniford’s history ended, and 2008.
