ca. 1970. Color copy of customer print; copy ordered by Lindal Cedar Homes on September 21, 1970. "Franklin" model home on display at an unknown location. The two-story cedar home does not have the traditional A-frame look as it has a roofline more Mansard-like. The second story has a balcony nearly the width of the house. Both the balcony and first floor have cedar railings. Cedar was chosen for Lindal's homes as it was both attractive and very durable.

Dale Robertson, actor and singer, poses with two unidentified men at the Western Washington Fair on September 24, 1970. Mr. Robertson filled in admirably for Patti Page, who cancelled her appearance at the last minute due to illness. Mr. Robertson first made his mark in movies due to his reportedly physical and vocal resemblance to Clark Gable. He was cast mostly in Westerns; the trend also followed through in television as he appeared in "The Iron Horse," narrated "Death Valley Days," and later appeared in contemporary mode in "Dallas" and "Dynasty."

1971 color Richards stock footage. Aerial of Division and N. Yakima neighborhood. This view is taken almost directly overhead the three apartment houses: Casablanca, Rutland and Woodstock (l-r) on May 27, 1971. The Casablanca and Rutland apartments were on N. Yakima while the Woodstock's address was actually on N. 1st. The Casablanca was the youngest of the three, built in 1944, while the Rutland and Woodstock were erected in the early 1900s. The building with grey roof and brownish-red trim up the street from the apartments is Walker Chevrolet.

Yakima in front of the three apartment houses and 1st St. which veers from Division (farthest right).

Ragtime great Joe Jordan posed with family and friends on December 12, 1970, in his home at 1501 Yakima Ave. So. Gwendolyn Bryant (violinist), Ella Mae Crawford (soprano), granddaughter Kimi Ginn, and Kim Brown (seated) would be involved in a tribute to Mr. Jordan entitled "Reminiscing with Joe Jordan," shown on KTPS-TV on January 12, 1971. Composer of "Old Black Crow," "Lovie Joe," and "Until," orchestra leader, and successful businessman, Mr. Jordan relocated to the Pacific Northwest at the age of 62 when the US Army invited him to join as a captain and because of his musical expertise, organize musical entertainment for black troops in the then-segregated military. He liked the area so much he decided to stay. He wrote "Dear Lincoln" for Lincoln H. S., a school that no one in his family attended; "Go Giants" for Tacoma's Pacific Coast League baseball team; and he even wrote a state song considered much jauntier than the official one. Mr. Jordan had written music for Ginger Rogers, Ethel Merman, Josephine Baker and Blossom Seeley, among others, and had worked extensively with Orson Wells and Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. A 600-piece collection of Mr. Jordan's scores, photographs, legal documents, letters and posters was discovered packed away in the family home some 30-years after his 1971 death by his granddaughter Kimi Ginn Rabun. This collection was donated to Virginia's Hampton University, a historically black university, to become the "Joe Jordan Ragtime Jazz and Entrepreneurship Collection."
