We are incredibly grateful to Evie Vetterlein Wozniak for generously sharing her amazing collection of photos of life on the Berkeley pier before it closed.  Her photos are taken in the '70s and cover the time period covered in a number of our interviews.  Further below, you will also find her photos of the grand opening of Adventure Playground in summer 1979.  The images include photos of Gus Newport, who was Mayor of Berkeley, and Maudelle Miller Shirek, who served as Vice Mayor on the Berkeley City Council at that time.  Adventure Playground was created on the idea that children enjoy creating their own games and projects with found objects.  The idea arose out of an observation during WW2 of how children played in the rubble in London after Nazi bombings.   See the Rick Diamond interview in this collection for more information.  A new housing complex in Berkeley named after Maudelle Shirek gives priority to persons who were displaced during the BART construction project.  See the interview with Jay for more information on that topic.
