Vallejo’s new main post office will be named for a well-loved Vallejo figure if U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson has his way. Thompson (D-St. Helena) introduced a bill on Friday to designate the United States Postal Service facility at 2635 Napa St., as the “Janet R. Capello Post Office Building.”
“Janet was a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to helping our community, and renaming this building is a fitting tribute to her legacy,” Thompson said in a statement. “For years, Janet worked closely with the University of California, Davis to raise funds for Alzheimer’s research. She was also a devoted member of the Order of the Sons of Italy, where she helped hundreds of local students attend college through their scholarship program. I take deep pride in introducing this bill today so that we can honor Janet and everything she did for Vallejo and California.”
