City Historian Alan Frank will discuss how Livermore remained a small town but was the commercial center of the valley. He is the author of the forthcoming book Frontier to City: Livermore, California. Alan is an historian with the Livermore Heritage Guild. He was the historic consultant to the City of Livermore for the rescue and refurbishment of the 1892 Central Pacific Railroad Depot. He retired as historian and curator of the Niles Canyon Railway, where he was responsible for placing that segment of the original Transcontinental Railroad on the National Register of Historic Places. Since retirement as a physicist from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, he served as a musician and president of the Livermore-Amador Symphony.
