The announcement was mailed out on March 23 to invite the Governor of Arizona and prominent citizens for the formal opening of The Fry Army Amusement Center on March 27, 1943. In the photo with Col. Hardy is Sgt Joe Lewis Barrow, World Heavyweight Boxing Champ. It was rumored that he was a silent partner for this project. Ft. Huachuca Museum photo.
