With Patricia (Squigglemom) Tsoiasue and LeClair Pearson.

About the image: Photograph of a Pacific Electric Railway car in Long Beach on opening day of the Long Beach line, July 4, 1902. The electric railroad car is at center and resembles a streetcar. A long arm reaches from the top of the car to an overhead wire. The car is dark-colored and bears the number 219, as well as the words "Long Beach". There are many people in the car and entering the car through doors at the front and back. Two young boys are watching in the foreground at left. A two story building can be seen in the background at left.
