Scope and content
On November 28, 1939, Gilbert Waite, left, president of the Young Mens Business Club, presented a wire haired terrier puppy to Mrs. Frances M. Haskell at the Hotel Winthrop as Governor Clarence D. Martin looked on. The special banquet at the Winthrop was being given in honor of Mrs. Haskell, national president of the Ladies G.A.R., who would soon be leaving on a 48 state speaking tour. The YMBC had several years previously adopted Mrs. Haskell as a sort of "foster mother" and when she lost her little terrier, they decided to do something about it. At the banquet, Waite presented her with a bouquet of flowers and from the center popped the head of the little pup. ALBUM 10. (T. Times 11/29/1939, pg. 10)
