Inside the mess-hall, and what later (1952) became our (the Molloy's) cabin. This interior shot looks just like it did when we first moved in, with its massive, commercial stove, and the large service table! Which kinda proves that although things may change, our memory never does. And on this particular day in 1940, the early Ballard Crew was cooking for a crowd! From the left: Dot Coutard, Martha Giriat, Isabelle Giriat, "Hug," and Alice Landi.
[Visable] from the left: Dot Coutard, Isabelle Giriat, Hug, unidentified.
The hungry mob outside the mess-hall: Most are unidentified, but from the left, Arthur Ballard Jr., Denny Giriat. Standing on the extreme right, Martha Giriat. Below; Marge Giriat(?), Charlie Giriat, and Van-Ness Ballard. (Bottle; can't make out the label)
Charlie Giriat, Van-Ness Ballard, and Martha Giriat - outside the messs-hall.
Many thanks to Dee "Dorothy" Giriat for these and all the great photos, a wonderful ride through Ballard Lake's early history! Be sure to visit our sister-site at Flickr and click on the slide-show, which also includes outtakes not displayed here.
