  LOS ANGELES — There are saves and there are holds and there was the moment in 2014 when two cars pulled up into a driveway in Elk Grove, with Sean Doolittle waiting.
  Doolittle is a left-handed reliever who now closes games for Washington, but then he was pitching for Oakland. He and Eireann, now his wife, committed themselves to a program called Operation Finally Home, to provide housing for returning veterans.

• Trevor’s Travels: Colton Area Museum offers a window to the past

  22-04-2018 23:42 via ocregister.com
  It has been about 15 years since I first visited the Colton Area Museum.
  At that time, I was fortunate to meet Larry Sheffield who was the president of the association that ran it.
  The museum is packed with memorabilia relating to Colton’s past, and virtually all of it has been donated by residents.
  A year ago, Sheffield died, which was a great loss to the institution of which he was so proud. It also was a loss to the community, which he had joined after arriving from Utah in the 1970s.
