#29 - Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District
 

 
Next we have the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District’s Board of Education which includes Board President Bill Dunlop and Trustees Belia Martinez, Chuck Rogge, Kate Runyon and Anne White, accompanied by Superintendent of Schools Kelly Bowers, Assistant Superintendents Cindy Alba and Chris Van Schaack, and Chief Business Official Susan Kinder. Joining the Board and Superintendent are the teachers of "Project Lead the Way" and some of their students. The teachers are Regina Brinker, from Christensen Middle School, Ravi Prabhala, from East Avenue Middle School, and Susan Johnston and Mike Waltz from Livermore High School. Project "Lead the Way" provides a rigorous and innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics -STEM - education for middle and high school students. The middle school "Gateway to Technology" program, explores aerospace, energy, environment, modeling, robotics and technology. The high school "Pathway to Engineering" program, explores the design and engineering processes in aerodynamics, astronautics, and space life sciences. These programs have received tremendous support from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore Valley Education Foundation, Lam Research, Chevron, and various grants. With the robust middle school programs feeding into the Livermore High School Academy, the District has a -STEM- pathway which spans from middle school to college.

#33 - Liv. Heritage Guild's 1919 Model T Fire Truck
 

 
The next several entries are brought to you by the Livermore Heritage Guild. The first is the 1919 Ford Model T Chemical Fire Truck. This tiny vehicle is Livermore's first motorized fire truck. It was built on a Ford Model T frame by the Chief of the Livermore Volunteer Fire Department who was also a mechanic at a garage on 2nd. Street. It was restored to operating condition by a small team of Livermore Heritage Guild volunteers led by Chuck McFann. Gary Bausch is the driver today and his passengers are Christine Thompson and Chuck McFann on the tailgate.
 

#34 - Liv.Her. 1920 Seagrave Fire Truck with Mayor & City Council
 

 
Our next entry starts with members of Boy Scout troop #975 carrying an impressive banner. The scouts are Jared Faith, Steven Herman, and Sam Caldwell. They're followed by a 1920 Seagrave Fire Truck; Livermore's first commercially built fire truck. The Seagrave Truck was purchased shortly after the original St. Michael's Church burned to the ground in 1916. The vehicle is being restored by 12 volunteers associated with the Livermore Heritage Guild. Restoration has been underway for 3 ½ years and donations are needed to pay for the gold leaf decorations on the fire truck. The driver today is Irv Stowers and passenger is Will Bolton. Riding on the 1920 Seagrave Fire Truck is our city Mayor John Marchand. Vice Mayor Doug Horner, City Council members Stu Gary, Laureen Turner and Bob Woerner. Let's give them a big Livermore Rodeo Parade Howdy!!!

It is being driven by Bill Junk, curator of the Duarte Garage on North "L" Street where all three fire trucks are housed.
