All your history will be ours.

My continuing project to bring to light as many photos from the olden days of Coupeville athletics as possible hits new pay dirt.

The photo above, which comes to us from Renae Mulholland and her mom, Dorothy Keefe, showcases a baseball squad from 107 seasons back.

The 1909 Fort Casey diamond men included their lil’ mascot, Tommy Clark, who grew up to be Dorothy’s dad and Renae’s grandpa.

The call remains to all — if you have sports history from Central Whidbey, I want to see it, and pass it on to my readers.

Together we can blow off the dust from Coupeville athletics!

Flashback to your grandpa’s field of dreams!!

   Mickey Clark (center), whose name you hear every time you attend a football game at the CHS field.

Someone recently said — Coupeville is so small, you write about a team from 80+ years ago, all the last names are still the same.

And, while it’s not totally true, as there are a few new families sprinkled inside city limits these days, there is a kernel of truth.

The photo above, which commemorates the Coupeville town baseball team of 1929-1930, reportedly hung in Whidbey Island Bank for many years.

Now, it’s up on the internet, for all to see.

And, yep, sure enough, there are names like Black, Race, Libbey and Vaughan, names which still carry weight in Cow Town.

Not to mention one guy in the back row, Mickey Clark, whose name every current school kid hears whenever they attend a CHS football game at the field named in his memory.
