RECENT DONATIONS
From the March 2007 Re-Echo

The growth of the Historical Society’s collection is dependent on donations, and we thank everyone who has made gifts of Park artifacts. Our most recent donors are:

George F. Clough donated documents and ten pictures of the Joel B. Clough family, a very important early family in the Park
.

Nancy Roetman Menzel shared with us a biography she wrote about Luther Melanchton “Deacon” Thomson, a charter member and elder of Union Congregational Church.

We filled a huge gap in our yearbook collection recently. Jim Reiss donated copies of the Echowan ranging from 1946 to 1954. And then Sylvia and Jerry Timian donated theirs from 1955, 1956, and 1959. We only have about 10 to go before 1967 – and we need just about everything after 1968. See if you can get your kids to give them up!

Tim Layeaux donated materials from Musicland, Treasure’s Island, and a hardbound children’s book published by Picture Window Books, located on Excelsior Blvd.

Scott Coltrane, Baston descendant, donated two pictures of his ancestors that he had restored, and shared much of his research of this important early St. Louis Park family.

Manny Camilon donated a 1971 plastic SLP phone book, covered with ads. (Not sure why the cover is not the same size as the 1971 SLP phone book!)

Phil Davis donated a picture of his old house at 4105 Vernon Ave., now the slow lane of Highway 100.

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