DONATIONS RECEIVED
From the Re-Echo, June 2007

The growth of the Historical Society’s collection is dependent on donations, and we thank everyone who has made gifts of Park artifacts or shared information with us. Some of our most recent donors are:
 

Mr. and Mrs. Roland Larson have donated materials related to the St. Louis Park Caring Youth Program. For 17 years the program has recognized young people for their spirit of caring and concern for others.


Mr. Al Pooler has provided us with a copy of “The Esther Munson Chronicle.” Mr. Pooler’s aunt, 17-year-old Esther, was the sole casualty of the June 23, 1914 storm that was so fierce it was referred to as a cyclone.


Mrs. Elizabeth Fuller sent us her memoir of growing up in St. Louis Park. She also provided us with a portrait of her father, architect Edward Roy Ludwig.


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