Here is the Percy Norman Memorial Pool, 1965 and 2010. The image on the left is from the Riley Park Archives, and was taken 5 years after the pool first opened. The image on the right was taken by Artist Intern Lisa W.

I am so happy that you put this memorial together and credited Rose. Congrads for your good work!! I had intended to submit a story or poem but became quite busy with a directorial-writing project during the time your postings for submissions were up...I even took one home at one point.
Thank you-I have swam the Percy Norman on and off since the mid 80s. Although I am looking forward to the roomy new facility, I will always have a soft spot for Percy Norman. I exercised my body, spirit and mind in that old blue tiled pool...1000s of laps and thoughts!
I learned to swim.there...soft spot for it...though it was intimidating...I was young then..there were interesting things..at one point I recall you walked through water to enter pool area fr change rooms..kinda wierd
