48-years ago, on Friday June 15, 1973, 15-month old Carl Eric Christian fell 13-feet down a well in the backyard of his home on Orange Street in Concord.
He was rescued after a few hours with no life-threatening injuries. The incident made local news, but the story never made it past the Bay Area.
Does anybody remember when the Concord baby fell in the well?
