Yes. Well. Still around, so there's that. If you wish to see how some things persist long after everyone thinks they're gone, zoom out to the satellite view. You can still see where the pool was. You can still see the water's outlines.

I almost left it at that, but as I closed the scan of the back of the card, I noted it was owned andoperated by Mr. & Mrs. J. W. "Dub" Wheeler. Googled him; ah ha.

J.W. "Dub" Wheeler was named an All-American during the 1935 season. The 227-pound tackle was a powerful member of the OU line . . He was the first player from Oklahoma to be drafted in the NFL. He went to the Green Bay Packers during the second round

A nice retirement job for the Dub.
