A Stand of Trees

Along Pierce Avenue, adjacent to the railroad tracks and under a stand of trees was a place where gentlemen held court. Any day when the weather was fine, Luke Gray (center), having retired from the work-a-day world, could be found in his favorite spot paying witness to the passage of time. Frequently, friends George Falls (left) and Willie Laney (right) would join him. They would sit for a while and discuss the events of the day. This photograph was taken around 1965.
