This was found recently among the Kodachrome slides by Horace Sykes that live in a two-top slide box. It is, I think, the last of the Sykes collection to step through and most of the slides are mounted in glass, which while protecting the film for tis last sixty-plus years has also trapped the dust that was captured when Horace did the mounting at home. But it is easy enough to free the film and give in a new and exposed frame, which is what I do. I think that this is most likely a scene in Discovery Park, which in Horace’s time was still thought of an called Fort Lawton. Horace lived close-by on Bertona Lane, a few feet above the water. Earlier today I sent this scan to Dan Kerlee, a friend who also lived in Magnolia, but up on the bluff not below it. Dan and I chatted bout the characterists of Madrones (Arbutus menziesii) the last time we visited, and he made a point about their talent for clinging to exposed places. And so I wonder, of course, does tis Madrone survive still on the edge of Magnolia. In sending this image to him I hoped that he would do the exploring. Goodness he lives a little distance to the south on Magnolia Boulevard West.
