Description |
First Airmail delivery to Ketchikan April 1929 - Ketchikan's first airmail. Mayor Jack Talbot, Supt. of Schools Tony Karnes, I think old gentleman is Postmaster Blackmarr, my grandfather Arthur Bartholomew, my dad Ralph A. Bartholomew and Phil Elliott (from left to right). My kindergarten teacher, who later married Tony Karnes shown in picture, took our class down the Edmonds St. stairway to the tide flats where the Federal Building now stands to see this plane that was sitting on the beach that was used for baseball games at low tide. My teachers name was Miss Wilkens, and I met her again in 1980 or so at a class re-union and she was still going strong. |
