And they're off! Members of the Bremerton Admiral Robert E. Coontz Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars posed ready to take off in a run as soon as they hear the starting pistol fire. They clutched application for membership forms in their hands and the race was on for greatest membership drive in the history of the post. Their goal was 100 new members by March 31st. Alfred Carlson, second from right, was chairman of the membership committee. Left to right are pictured O.E. Bennett, George Hall, M.D. Benham, Henry Johnson, Ted Pruitt, C.E. Chase, Alfred Carlson and Joe Dilks. Local patrolman Rod Murphy was shown with the starting pistol, getting the drive off to a flying start. (Bremerton Sun 10/8/1935, pg. 1)
