Ballard Time Capsule Revealed

The suspense is over, Ballard's mysterious black metal time capsule was pried open on Sunday at the Leif Erikson Hall, revealing the contents from nearly 60 years ago. My Ballard reported the capsule,s contents--the first item was a copy of the Seattle Daily Times from December 29, 1950, with the headline "GM Closes 5 Assembly Plants in One Week." (The more things change, no?) The box mainly contained newspapers and historical documents from the 1950s, including a letter from the Daughters of Norway, several programs from the Norwegian Male Chorus of Seattle, and a program from the dedication of the Norway Center.
