DONATIONS RECEIVED
From the Re-Echo, September 2008

Thank you to everyone who brought us donations since the last Re-Echo. We apologize if we left anyone out.
 

Harrison Allen, son of Herb Allen who built the Pastime Arena (now the Roller Garden), gave us his collection of clippings about the arena, including pictures of it under construction and articles about polo matches that were held there. He also helped identify some pictures we had. Mr. Allen also donated a 96-page newspaper insert from 1938 that celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Minneapolis Journal. It contains priceless information about the area in 1938 and 1878.

Norma J. Burton sent us a yellowed article picturing her grandfather, William C. Schroder, representing National Lead as the SLP Chamber of Commerce was formed.

Vern Wigfield came by the Depot and donated three vintage maps and a great picture of our Milwaukee Road depot before it was moved to its present location.

Janet Czartoryski donated a SLP High School souvenir cup from 1968 as well as materials on the 40th Class Reunion.
