Another classic personal photo for this
week's photo. This one sent in by CZ Images contributor Perry
Truxton. The scene is an old car called the Ceino Wagon with Paul
and Robert Turner standing in front. Perry notes that this old
truck took them on many jungle adventures back in 1948. The
license plate is a 1948 Panama plate. Not sure why there
isn't a Canal Zone plate.
The most important part of this photo and is
the main reason I am posting it is the original Balboa Stadium bleachers
are still in tack when this photo was taken. Many of us Baby
Boomers that attended BHS after the removal of the old bleachers only
remember the slanted cement buildings that remained. These cement
buildings or structures that still stand today are the bases of the
grand old bleachers you see in this photo.
During the many years of attending high school
games and later organizing special events in this field, I often
wondered what it looked like when the old super structure sat on these
old cement foundations.
This photo shows
a great representation of that. Thanks for sharing this great old
photo Perry.
