Souvenirs

A colour photograph of Mount Tacoma by Norman  Edson.  Tacoma was one 

of the earliest Rotary Clubs, number 8 and chartered in 1910.  On the 

back of the frame is a poem entitled "The sun's last glow'. 

The poem was
apparently written by Norman Edson himself. It is not clear why
Harris had this picture but there are several other similar copies
around, most with the poem on the back. Edson lived and worked in
Washington State and lived from 1879 to 1968.
