Special thanks to Art's wife, Mary Gruner Schmitz, (St. James class of 1935), for the
copy of the newspaper and the following note:
"Fred Walden had been in Fairbanks working and had come home for a visit -- family lived on Clayton
Ave. between Louisville and Kraft. Art was a friend of Fred's brother, Bob. When
Fred was returning to Fairbanks the summer of 1940 Art went with him and worked in the gold
fields. He also pitched softball because the sun doesn't set in the summer."
Obviously from the newspaper story, he also was doing some boxing!
There was a lot more going on in the world in that summer of 1940. See below for the front page of the same newspaper that carried the ad for the boxing program:
