DONATIONS RECEIVED
From the Re-Echo, December 2007

Than you to everyone who brought us donations since the last Re-Echo. We greatly appreciate it that you think of us, especially when you move and clean out your house. One man’s trash is another man’s valuable artifact!
 

Beverley M. Johnson donated several articles related to Union Congregational Church. Also included were historical newspaper articles, an antique picture of the SLP baseball team, patches, and a pencil from Swenson Grocery.

Frank Motzko found some old newspapers with great articles that he shared with us.

Jim Halvorsen gave us a copy of a picture of a Christmas program at First Lutheran Church @1933 and a wonderful thermometer that came from Hermstad Service Station, 5600 W. Lake.

An anonymous donor left us a Palm Bakery magnet and a Lincoln Del matchbook.

Rick Sewall shared pictures of the Docken property at 44th and Brookside. Not in St. Louis Park, but the Docken’s Community Store served the Brookside area going back to the 1920s.

Earl Ames allowed us to make copies of pictures and news articles, including those concerning our cover story.

Ed Dietz found us a 1930-31 Orange and Black High School Handbook, rescued from the recycling bin.

Bunny Hartman left two of her son’s Echowans at Lenox for us. They are from 1982 and 1984, which are certainly years we didn’t have.

We also received, from Dr. Robert Green, a copy of the history of the St. Louis Park Medical Center and Park Nicollet (Managing Change, Changing Medicine). Dr. Green was one of the original 11 doctors that founded the clinic.

We apologize if we left anyone out. Thank you again for your generous donations!
