I had never read the plaque before. On the back of the fountain is a plaque to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernestine_Schumann-Heink . She was one of mother’s favorite singers. On the front is this dark shape. Finally today, almost 80 years after I began going to the park, I enlarged it enough so I could read it.

It says, “HEREIN are the SIGNATURES of the WORKERS whose untiring and loyal efforts made possible the CALIFORNIA pacific international EXPOSITION 1936.”

Fascinating stuff.

Photo: Mine: Fountain outside the Organ Pavilion.

Gratitude’s: That I almost have a sense of humor.
