The natatorium

Dear Editor,

I read with interest your article on the movie shot at the Nat in 1952. I went to school at Lafayette and Madison with Guy Farmer and Frank Lemon. I would have also been in the class of 1953 at West Seattle if my parents hadn’t moved to California in 1948. As it was I graduated from South San Francisco High School in the class of 1953.

As I recall, Guy’s dad owned a Radio repair store in West Seattle. Both Guy and Frank were buddies of mine. I lost track of both of them years ago.

Dear Bob: Enjoyed your letter to the editor re our 57-year-old movie, "The Chase," filmed at the old Alki Natatorium. My Dad, Joe Farmer, who was a musician, didn't own a radio repair shop in West Seattle. Instead, he taught guitar students at the Ware House of Music at the Alaska Street junction. He later owned a music store in Burien. Good to hear from you. Best Regards,
