To the Editor,
I was born and raised in Toppenish and have lived here all of my life. I would like to congratulate the mural society on the wonderful job they are doing with the murals.
I am interested to know why we have not seen a mural about the championship polo team that we had here in the 40’s.
Dr. Frank Shearer, Bill Drake, and Carroll Lawrence among others, were an important part of our history and were on the team that traveled to Calgary Stampede two years in a row that I know of. The barn and polo grounds were on the corner of Highway 97 and Jensen Road.  
My step-dad, Jess Bos, took care of the horses and traveled to Calgary with the team. If interviewed, I am sure that Dr. Frank Shear could verify and add to the information I have included here.
I think the Polo Team would be a great subject for an upcoming mural. I do not have any pictures of this but I am sure there are some out there with some of the history buffs in the area and I hope the mural society would pursue the possibility of a mural depicting the polo team.
