One of my childhood friends, George, sent me some pictures of my hometown. This was taken in 1924 and I did not move there until I was 15 months old in 1934.
This is a picture of what was called the Heights and was the North Side of town. The swimming pool, which later had walks and diving boards and a lovely grass park built all around it with a lovely building with rooms to change your clothes and etc., was just down from our house.
In fact, I can see the Northern Pacific Hospital in the top right and right in front of it was the big house we bought in 1940. I had heard it was about 50 years old when we bought it. We had it remodeled when I was in high school. On the left side of the chimney was a small garage only wide enough for a horse and buggy.
The swimming pool was all cement and had lots of cracks that would be tarred over every year. It was deep enough that we later had a 10 foot diving board, a 5 foot diving board and a big slide.
Below is a picture of my friend Carla and I with some of the boys from our class. We were sitting at the edge of the pool. This was probably about 1947 or 8 or so.
