In December 1952 the City of Vancouver applied for the property around the Apple Tree but the Army had not yet declared that area surplus. A January 1953 memo from James N. Gibson, Chief, State Cooperation, to the Regional Director indicates that this land, adjacent to the airport, might also "allow the development of runways entirely on city land, thereby releasing the Fort Vancouver National Monument from the present infringement caused by use of some federal land for landing purposes."

Chapter Six: Pearson Airpark and The Development of Fort Vancouver

1. The Columbian, May 20, 1912 and June 11, 1912 in Carl Landerholm, Vancouver Area Chronology. 1784-1958, (Vancouver, Washington, 1960), p. 201. No one can seem to agree on a date for the initiation of aviation at Pearson Airfield. Many toss around the year 1905 when a zeppelin landed on the Vancouver Barracks' parade ground, however 1912 is when airplane experimentation began. As to the claim that Pearson Airpark is the oldest continually operating airfield in the country, there seems to be enough evidence to give Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, where the Wright Brothers began flying and training pilots in 1904, that distinction.

2. The Sunday Oregonian, August 2, 1964. The witness, Allan McCoy, was interviewed in 1964 for this article on the history of Pearson Airpark.

According to Kardas, David Munsell came down to the site on July 10, 1969 and "addressed Mr. Larrabee, ignored me completely, and asked Mr. Larrabee several very pointed questions about my dissertation. Throughout the conversation he completely ignored what was going on, made a few cracks about not having any use for women on a dig (we have five female students), and then, without looking at anything, left. Greengo had given him orders not to look at the dig if he wasn't specifically invited to do so; and since he seemed both rude and disinterested, we didn't ask him to, after which he told both Mr. Davis and Dr. Greengo that we had 'thrown him off the site."'
