Description
English:

Legendary local athlete William Jennings "Wee" Coyle (1888-1977) was raised in Seattle, attending Seattle High School (later Broadway High School) and the University of Washington. Wee served in both WWI and WWII, and was the first commander of the American Legion Post No. 1. He was elected Lieutenant Governor under Louis F. Hart, serving from 1921 to 1925. Wee managed Seattle's Civic Auditorium for 25 years, until his retirement in 1953. He also wrote a sports column for the Seattle Times called "40 Years Ago in Sports" from about 1948-1951.

In this image Lieutenant Governor Wee Coyle greets Major General Leonard Wood, who came to Seattle to board the steamship Wenatchee for the Philippine Islands. General Wood made a short speech at Smith Cove pier (Pier 91) expressing confidence in Seattle as the "City of Success" located on the "Ocean of Destiny."

Veteran United States Army officer and commander of the "Rough Riders" in the Spanish-American War, Leonard Wood (1860-1927) served as the Chief of Staff of the United States Army, Military Governor of Cuba, and Governor General of the Philippines.
