Miscellaneous Memorabilia

Three photos courtesy of Dave Samuels, Feb. 17, 2007 --

"I ran across two old photos from Columbian Playground baseball teams. They are attached with the names/coaches of the players...and an old photo of the Ampere Section of 4th Ave. and 18th Street. Note: the vast majority of the players pictured attended Mass at All Souls. Always fun checking out the web-site from All Souls.

Stay well,

Dave Samuels"
