That photo does bring back memories, but not of Moscow. I know the photo can't 
be any earlier than 1951 because my mom's parents had a 1951 Chevrolet coupe, 
2-door, dark blue, in which I rode as a single-digit-age boy one summer day 
to their cabin on the east side of Kootenai Lake in British Columbia. Those 
few days at the lake were a fun summer vacation.

I do remember buying a suit jacket, a dress shirt, and a tie from David's as 
an undergraduate years ago. I don't remember Washington Water Power or Fonk's 
being in those locations because I think General Telephone had replaced them 
by then. Those were the days when, out of the boundaries of this photo, 
Leonard Chin had a trailer court southwest of campus, and the Greenstreet 
trailer court was still in business at East E and North Jefferson, just over 
a third, rather than just over a half, of a century ago.
