Note: When inventorying the trophies it was observer that several had
No written text whatsoever. Some of the writing may have faded over the
years and some did not look like there was ever any identification present.
Some of the trophies and other memoralia (sp) may have disappeared over
The years because storage was in an unsecured school building after closing
And the club women’s unsecured building behind the gym before being
Rescued by Wayne Easterwood. It is now in a locked church building at
Russett.
