CDPHS ANTIQUE ROADSHOW. Wants to share with you that which has been shared with us.

Stowed away in the confines of a very secure storage area are a great many pieces of memorabilia that meant a considerable amount to someone, and loved his or her home town enough to share rather than retain.

Because we have not been fortunate enough to find the perfect home for our intended Museum, it is our desire to display our treasures so millions will have the opportunity to enjoy the them today, tomorrow and the many decades into the future.

Even though these treasured donors have been thanked many times over we would dearly love to say once more "Thank you one and all!"

The Clayton/Deerpark Historical Society.

We begin, not only as one of the most treasured donations is being presented, The original painting "#52" by Leno Prestini, painted for his life long friend Silvio Costa who combined with the entire Costa family befriended his loved ones especially while Leno served in WW II. But this dedication is not for, but because of Bruno Costa, cousin to Silvio and his brother Duane. Bruno and Duane conspired to present the CDPHS with this painting which they did, July 17, 2007. It is sad to say that Bruno's act of generosity combined with his unending dedication to helping those in need, ceased with his funeral service scheduled for 10 AM tomorrow Sept. 18th 2008. May God rest his soul.

Another of our vaunted collection was given to our Society by Mr. Paul Ericksen. An Arcadia Orchard smudge pot and other items to be identified and given a proper code #.

Though this Leno Prestini print is hanging on our living room wall, it none the less belongs to the CDPHS. It is named Christ on the Cross. The Origional was painted and presented to the Clayton Catholic Church in 1956. The original is at the Deer Park Catholic Church at present.

Our Society proudly displays this robe of the Blue and Gold. The highly revered colors of the Deer Parks fighting Stags.

Mr. Tom Olsen presented this Certificate of shares from the Woodland Cemetery Assoc. of Deer Park, WA.

When these Ribbons and Gold Gloves were passed on to Wallace Parker, as a representative of the CDPHS, he understood the desire of someone to just want to give back a little bit of what's been given to him.

Joleen Bloom and her Sister Kathy Millick presented us with a host of Deer Park Fair Memorabeilia from the days when their Parents were very active in those affairs.

A Fair promotional token. from the 60s & 70s.

Thanks to Joleen Bloom and Kathy Millick.

Thanks to the Bloom family.

At the risk of offending someone, please bare with us for a moment . Clayton is the hometown of our Native Son Leno Prestini. Gaining possesion of an original is next to impossible and that is exactly what occured. Out of the blue we got word there was an original Prestini painting in western Oregon. We were aware of the content via email. Wally Lee Parker, Publications Director for the CDPHS made an offer. It wasn't accepted. A few weeks later, like a bolt out of the blue, word came that our bid was accepted. A trip was made for final inspection, payment, painting was purchased and it will grace the walls of CDPHS forever. So please accept our apologies if we seem to be a bit risque.

Mr. Marion Castle presented this Gold Pan original Leno painting accepted by Mr. Don Ball for the CDPHS.

This sign hung in the R.R. Grove store for decades on Main Street Deer Park.

We are in possesion of an authorized print of HELL AT DAWN as painted by Leno on site December 2, 1958. The original is in the possesion of a private family.

The year 2009 will be the 60th reunion of the Class of 49. Cliff and his wife Catherine Baker Truman will present her painting of the Scandinavian built barn on Catherine's old home place in the 1930s to the CDPHS. We are so thankful to the Trumans and look forward to their visit.

The Loon Lake Historical Society has the old Brick School house as their museum. It is unlikely that our museum will surpass it, There is one design that may equal it. A replica of Leno Pristini's Studio.
