| Letter with photo says: "This beautiful photograph was in a box of things my stepmother, Greeta (Fleming) Adkins PhillipsStritmatter, gave me. She died soon thereafter, before I had gon thur the box, so I had not chance to ask who who the lovely young ladies were. Some months before that, I was visiting the U.S. Forest Service office at Quinault, Washington, on the edge of what is now Olympic National Par. Looking at some old photos on the wall, I found myself staring into the eyes of my father, Roy Stritmatter, holding onto the bridle of a loaded pack horse. The photo, taken by F. W. Cleator and dated August 1928, was titled "Nine MIle Camp on the North Fork Quinault--1928." I knew instantly it was Dad. .... Dad died 4 months before Greeta. You can imagine that photo and Dad'[s sotry of it mean a lot to me and my family....Looking at this photo of the young ladies, I thought it should go back to Baker. Perhaps if it is displayed at a public place there, someone will recognize one of their family members in the photo and feel the same thrill we all feel looking at Dad's phot. They are four charmers, aren't they? They deserve recognition! --Pansy Strittmatter Bray, Hoquiam, WA The letter is copied with the photo in this file. |
