Steve Prefontaine signature on a letter to a fan named Gary, dated January 16, 1974.

Pre had run his first indoor track meet of the winter season on January 11, 1974, the National Indoor Invitational at College Park, Maryland ( except for intentionally placing second so that Dave Wottle could try for a US mile record on June 20, 1973, this would be Pre’s first-ever loss in a US track meet since June 6, 1971–2 years and 7 months!).

Pre’s next race would be two days after the date of this letter, January 18, 1974 at the Sunkist Invitational Indoor meet in Los Angeles, CA. This letter may have been written in LA since he went there early to train on LA’s steep hills.

Pre’s letter is obviously a brief note to a piece of fan mail. He answered all of them, even while traveling. Pre wrote back:

__________

Jan 16, 1974

Dear Gary,

Thank you very much for the letter.

As for tips, it is very hard for me to write them on paper.

I run because I love it and it is part of my life.

One thing I can say is run for run [sic, likely meant 'fun'] and if you can’t don’t.

Sincerely,
Steve Prefontaine

Philadelphia, PA Third Philadelphia Naval Hospital no date (circa 1940s)

In the National Archives, RG112-AH-34-1

The hospital complex’s earliest buildings dated from 1933-1936. The most prominent was Building 1, a 15-story, Art Deco-style tower faced with yellow brick and brown terra cotta. The dark brown vertical elements in the historic photo were solariums on each floor.

Under the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1988, the Philadelphia Naval Hospital was slated for closure and disposal. All functions were relocated from the complex in 1993. It was finally demolished on 9 June 2001. ( For a look at the demolition see here.)

The City of Philadelphia expressed interest in obtaining the parcel and prepared a proposed reuse plan for the property. This plan, which called for demolition of all structures on the site, was predicated on a belief that the historic buildings could not be economically reused and was developed before the property was formally determined eligible for the National Register.

The former hospital location is currently an overflow parking lot for the nearby baseball and football stadiums.

A few nice dating images I found:

er, chocolate nib, actually. The dough tasted surprisingly authentic- no joke! I think it was the brown sugar-tasting dates, combined with the vanilla bean and chocolate flavours.

So, I threw these together and dehydrated them overnight, and did I write down the measurements so I could make them again? Of course not. I think it went something like this, though:

1 cup raw walnuts
1/4 cup raw cacao nibs
a few Tbsp coconut flour
seeds from 1 vanilla bean
maybe…3/4 c fresh dates

I made a paste with the dates ( I think I added a few drops of water, bringing it somewhere between paste & syrup), took it out of the processor and cleaned it out. I then ground up the nibs, then added the walnuts and ground them up together as fine as I could get them. Threw in some coconut flour & the vanilla bean seeds. Added the pureed dates. squished balls of dough with a fork on parchment in my old dehydrator, and left overnight.

I contemplated simply rolling the dough into balls & covering in coconut- the dough was addictive. I think they’re good either way, though.
