Shining a light on Lodi history

‘Our Time to Shine’ by Victor native Toni Christman gives readers a glimpse of old Lodi

Posted: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 12:00 am | Updated: 7:09 am, Tue Nov 20, 2012.

Lodi is very proud of its history, with much of its past documented in a number of books and news articles.

Now another book shines light on that history, complete with photos of the Lodi of old. It's called "Our Time to Shine" by Victor native Toni Christman. Portions of the book can be found in other publications, but much of Christman's book comes from her own family history.
