My grandpa, William Preston Davis (AKA Shiner Davis) was invited back to Alameda for the opening of the rink. That's him in the middle of the photo, his good friend Harry Brandon is on the left. William cut the ribbon to open the skating arena. Grandpa was an avid curler in his day and the Alameda Dispatch has many mentions of a rink or two that he and his team won.
Here is a heart felt letter from William to the town of Alameda.
