McNamara’s 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe with 390hp 427-cu.in. V-8Eng.
A 1967 Corvette with just 2,996 miles and a new car smell could fetch $800,000 next month at Mecum Auctions in Huston, Texas.
The coupe was purchased in 1966 by 30-year-old Don McNamara of Colorado Springs, with $5,000 he won on a trip he made to Las Vegas to celebrate his retirement from the U.S. Marines.
McNamara died in 2011 and left his estate to his neighbors, who discovered the car parked in his garage under a shipping blanket along with both American and Marine Corps flags.
On March 13, 1900, Patrick and Catherine Lynch donated one acre of ground located at Section Line Road (Division) and Barker Road (162nd Ave.) on which was built a new one room school (shown above). The original one room Lynch School which started with fifteen to twenty students increased in number to about fifty students in 1914.
In 1915 a large multiple purpose room, which served as an auditorium and meeting place for community functions was built onto the existing one room school. Folding doors were extended during the day making it into two classrooms giving the school a grand total of three rooms.
During the 1920’s the school’s population continued to grow. The Lynch School anticipated the need for future expansion and purchased an additional 2.68 acres from John Lynch, one of Patrick Lynch’s heirs, in 1922. People moving into the community from Portland and elsewhere were conscious of the good schools that existed in the city and wanted a school equal to or better than the ones they knew about, so in keeping with times and community growth, they built a new modern brick school, one of the first in east Multnomah County, in 1927 replacing the wooden frame structure built in 1900 and added onto in 1915. The new brick building built in 1927 (above) had five rooms, a dome- covered gymnasium and a basement which housed the furnace, cafeteria, lavatories, and storerooms. Just prior to World War II, additional rooms were added.
