Rocha Makes Newspaper

There aren't many of us out there and even though this person isn't realated to my Rocha family, it's nice when a Rocha makes. I happened upon this story in the Chico Enterprise Record, which was published on Saturday 18. The article asks if you ever wonder how the Skyway came to be known as the Skyway?

Well, you can read the story here, or just read my little segment.

A contest was held in 1942 to name the road connecting Chico and Paradise, and Marilyn Rocha, a Chico State College student, entered it. Rocha's winning idea, the Skyway, brought her a prize of a $50 gift certificate to Oser's, which she used to buy her wedding dress.
