Prestek Shown
is an old picture I scanned that was hanging on an older Kenmore
resident's wall. The road is 200th at the 6100 block, The small shed in
the field is actually still there (in a field) but the house and flat
garage have been replaced by a yellow split level. Looking at the cars,
this was probably shot around 1957 or '59. I believe that these
buildings were the remnants of a truck farm operated by a Japanese
gentleman that was interned in WWII. The people shown in the photo
purchased the property sometime after WWII. The area across the street
from the house used to be called "The Goat Farm". The small creek is
now gone. The photo was taken from a Navy helicopter by John Yeaman. SEARCH THE WEB Site

PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE
Spring greetings to Members and Friends of Kenmore Heritage Society ! In addition to our regular monthly programs, members are often engaged in other activities. The sales of "Kenmore By The Lake", first published in 2003, continue at a steady pace, and we have received an additional 750 copies. The Kenmore Heritage signs at Log Boom Park, based on pictures and writings in the book, offer historical information on Kenmore to Log Boom Park visitors. Major renovations are taking place at Rhododendron Park. In conjunction with this, we are working with the City on a sign, with pictures, which will describe the history of the park. Completion is scheduled for June, and this renovation should lead to an increase in park utilization. We look forward to seeing you at one or more of our upcoming meetings. - Elmer Skold, President
