Duchess & Sadie's Snowy Domain
Bayfield, Colorado - Has Winter snow come your way yet? There are ways to get out and enjoying the Winter months and make something out of something cold and dreary. AND ... if you are an outdoors type of person, you might try skiing, snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing and making something out of all that snow. McGill Swimming Pool
Alva, Oklahoma - Earl Fugit remembers swimming the McGill Swimming Pool. Yes! It was between two buildings. There was a skinny walkway from the front of the building on the eastside towards the back where the swimming pool existed. See photo in next paragraph showing location of McGill Bros. Furniture and the short building on the far right where the swimming pool was behind. Today, as you walk the 600 block of Barnes Avenue, you might see a short building with a "Hot Rod Mural" on the front. The swimming is filled in now, but sets behind this building.

NW Okie's R & R - The Good Old Days
Bayfield, CO - We went back through our OkieLegacy archives and find another view of the McGill Bros. Swimming Pool in the early 1900's. The photo on the left shows the backside of the building and the McGill Bros Swimming Pool, with the young boys in the pool and standing up against the building are supposedly Alva businessmen and fathers of the boys. Grandpa Wm. J. "Bill" McGill is the tall, fourth gentlemen from the right, backrow, in front of a door or window. NWOSU's Lincoln Bust

Anyone out there, I would appreciate help in obtaining a family tree that leads from Roland Ingels to Quanah Parker. Gene & Bob McGill (July 1923)
Alva, Oklahoma - We found this photo of our dad (Gene McGill, age 9), on the left, and his younger brother (Bob McGill, age 7), on the right. The date written on the back was 24 July 1923. You got to love those swim suits & caps that they wore back then, don't you. |
