V. Tarbill, owner of 25% of the regraded area. Reprinted in the July 1932 Harvard Review. Permission for use in this newsletter granted by Jim Grantham who is V. V. Tarbill s grandson & Ron s neighbor. First 4 page installment of 8 page article.) It was not just a happen-so that Denny Hill stood in the middle of Seattle s expanding business District. The matter was quite intentional. The founders of the city very deliberately selected the flanks of Denny Hill as the site of the city which they believed would become the New York of the Pacific Coast. The city of their founding grew even more rapidly than anticipated, and soon surrounded Denny Hill. The Hill was too high and too steep to be utilized for business purposes, so the inevitability (at least so it seems at present time) the Hill had to be removed, somehow or other...(cont d on page 4) Annual Bake Sale at March Meeting...this event is a huge fund raiser for the club so please bring your home-baked (or store-bought) cakes, pies, cupcakes, cookies or other sweet surprises & of course a little extra dough to buy stuff. CTC Celebrates its 41st Anniversary...Since its fledgling start in 1973 the club has attracted people interested in different aspects of treasure hunting. The availability of metal detectors for the retail market made weekend detecting an interesting & profitable hobby. During the 80 s & 90 s the club evolved into a prominent regional presence in the hobby with its once famous Silver Shoot Weekend, an event attracting families & competition detectorists from all over the West Coast.

2 Reflecting many changes in membership & changing times, the club retains a strong central core of members & is committed to increasing interest in the hobby & educating its members on the ever changing regulations that affect it. Most of all the club is dedicated to having fun & has many social activities in which to participate in. Joys & Concerns...everyone is doing ok as far as we know.
