This old upright piano joined the rubbish heap at the City dump in March of 1937. City worker John Sankovich (at left) helped Cooney Transfer & Storage employees Charlie Merchant and Gene Robinson in disposing of the piano. The once elegant instrument was crafted in London about 100 years before and came into the possession of Myron Clinton of Tacoma's Clinton Music House. Mr. Clinton decided to discard the piano once it had outlived its usefulness rather than permitting children to practice on such a dilapidated item. (T.Times 3-30-37, p. 14)

Eighty three years after their immigrant train came to Puget Sound via the Naches Pass, Lee H. Baker and George H. Himes returned to part of the old trail. The men are the sole survivors of the 132 member group who arrived in this area in 1853. Standing with Mr. Baker and Mr. Himes are William P. Bonney, secretary of the Washington State Historical Society (far right), Ira S. Davisson, longtime Public Utilities Commissioner and Tacoma Times columnist E.T. Short (both back row). The two women, including one carrying a box camera under her arm, were not identified. Mr. Baker and Mr. Himes arrived in the Puget Sound region as small boys.

Seventy-nine year old Berthold A. Prengel celebrates this fine spring day in April of 1937 by sliding down the "chute-the-chute" that he built for his four year old granddaughter Patricia McLean. Mr. Prengel has used scrap lumber from the Tideflats to covert his yard into a carnival playground for "Pat" and her friends. In addition to the slide, there is a hand operated ferris wheel, merry-go-round, teeter-totter and other carnival games. Mr. Prengel learned his carpentry skills by going to work for the Milwaukee Railroad at age 13 as a cabinet maker and later as a railroad electrician. (T. Times 6/4/1937, pg.3)
