This look back to an earlier version of Healdsburg will include Jim Dreisback’s tales of our small agricultural town and Ted Calvert’s recounting of the story of Smith Robinson, who led the city to adopt an army battalion of solders during the Korean War and put us on the map as an honoree of “This Is Your Life.”
