Today’s Remember When “mystery photo,” above, shows a bull rider being tossed from a bull at a local event in October 1975. Who was the cowboy, what was the event and where was it held?

Last week’s Remember When “mystery photo,” at left, showed Harold Clough, head of the filling and labeling department at the H.J. Heinz Co. factory, presenting a suggestion-award check to Rosabelle McElroy in July 1974. McElroy, a Heinz employee since 1959, was rewarded for suggesting an improvement to a walkway in the labeling area. Clough, now retired, is still active in Tracy at the age of 94, reported his daughter, Christine Smith.
