Notes: Coit Tower was constructed in 1933 at the request of Lillie Hitchcock Coit. This interesting woman was a volunteer firefighter who rode along with the firemen of her day, often to the chagrin of those who may have found such behavior unladylike during her era. Ignoring those people, Ms. Coit lived a dynamic life. She was allowed her eccentricities in part because she had the money to live as she pleased. She donated much of that money to assisting the firefighters in the city. She also donated the money to build Coit Tower in the interest of both honoring the firefighters and creating a beautiful spot for viewing the city she loved.

Memorial Day Poppies of Flanders fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Lt. Col. John McCrae, MD
