Photo of the Week

This week's photo is an awards ceremony for
Canal Zone Police Officer in Empire. Colonel Goethals is
presenting the awards. Must have been a pretty important day to
have the Goethals there to do the presentations. The most
interesting part of this photo are the advertisements painted on the
baseball field's outfield wall. I remember when they were building
the ball fields in Balboa years ago when companies paid for a part of
the outfield wall for ad space. This photo is actually an 8 x 10
that can be read better than in the above image, so I made up a few crop
blow ups of the fence for you to see. I am sure you will find it
as interesting as I have.
Added note after publication: Bill, This was the CZP Pistol Team being presented with awards. My Dad was
on that team. The top three are being given their awards by Goethals and Pop
is in the 2nd or middle group as the last man on the right. |
