Woodvale Olympic Club

Joann Golian Freeman sent in these rare jems of the Woodvale Olympic Club. This is her dad Stephen Golian - you can actually read some of the names behind him on the Soldier Honor Roll.

Joann says that the front is not the same as the Olympic Club on Woodvale Avenue. She thinks this one was on Maple. Unfortunately there were no names written on the back.
