My former business partner Dick Johnson sent me an email the other day with a great idea for preserving the heritage of Tehachapi. Dick and his brother Warren took me in as a partner in the Tehachapi News 30 years ago. Don't let that tarnish your view of Dick because to my knowledge that's the only really bad move he ever made. Dick's message to me had to do with a story that Grant Sullivan and I concocted a few months ago about street names in the Tehachapi area. Dick suggested that we ought to use street names to preserve the names of real people who contributed something to our community. He noted that we have done that to some extent already, with Dennison Road, Jacobsen Court, Pellisier Road in Cummings Valley (which I'm told is a misspelling of the family name it's supposed to honor) and other streets named for local worthies. I agree with Dick that we ought to extend this custom as far as possible. I believe Dick is thinking about new streets but I would expand his idea...
