And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, here comes a living symbol of the American
Spirit—the Wells Fargo Stagecoach – driven by Paul Fellingham. 130 years ago,
Wells Fargo arrived in Livermore, allowing our citizens to keep cool with Wells
Fargo. In more than 30 years' service, Wells Fargo agent John L. Mitchel also
represented the Union Ice Company—as well as the Central Pacific Railroad and
Western Union Telegraph. Additionally, the energetic Michel served several terms
as Livermore City Trustee. Today, the famed Wells Fargo stagecoach rolls through
Livermore in our annual Rodeo Parade. Riding in the famed Wells Fargo Stagecoach
are Congressional Candidate Eric Swalwell, Wells Fargo Regional President Bob
Ceglio, Livermore Store Manager Dino Nguy. Let’s give ‘em a Big Hand
