I appreciated the Suburban Times story “TPL’s Northwest Room introduces new database of local history collections: Northwest Online Records and Collections Access.”
I took a look at the NW Room data and found many things including this …
Official Opening – TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE and McCHORD FIELD – June 30-July 4, 1940, A. D.
Note: There’s also text about and photos of Fort Lewis. Be sure to scroll through all the 38 pages of the printed program.
Thank you so much! As a history buff these are priceless. My grandfather served at Camp Lewis and my father at McChord. My mother’s next door neighbor worked on the bridge.
Thank you again for sharing.
