Sometimes the work week starts out all right … and this week at the museum it did! Our first phone call of the week came from Sydney Calhoun, a former resident of the Mile 7 Naval radio station, who called to ask about coming back to Cordova for a visit.
Mrs. Calhoun, now 88 recalled her first memories were of living at Mile 7. Her strong memories led us through a story of her brand-new tricycle falling off the wooden boardwalk that provided walkways over the swampy delta grounds. ‘I was sure,’ she said, ‘I would never see my trike again!’ Mrs. Calhoun and her sister Eve and two twin sisters lived at Mile 7 until 1933. We look forward to hearing and learning more about her time there when she visits Cordova!
