 It took five years of fundraising and volunteer labor to get the pool completed by 1958 and used through the summer of 2005. |

| Note:
If I am able to set up the pool display that I have in my mind (at the Newspaper
Museum In Collinsville) ... I would like those that grew up with the pool (or took their kids / grandkids there) to submit their favorite Collinsville pool photos (or memories) to be included in that display. -- Ted Wright -- Feb. 27, 2010 wrightted@aol.com |
At the ground breaking ceremony Tuesday Carolyn (Keith) Smith recalled many nights that her Dad would be at the pool working after dark (after a full days work on the farm) during the volunteer construction. She said they would often work using the headlights of their cars to light their work. I recall my own Dad and older brothers coming home after pool construction work but too young to go myself. -- Ted |
