Photograph caption dated April 10, 1964 reads, "Neighborhood youngsters stare in wonder and amazement as a newborn filly struggles to its feet for the first time. The filly was named Beckie in honor of her birthplace - the intersection of Beck Avenue and Valerio Street in Sun Valley. Driver Wilford Colestock said he'd just finished giving his last cart rides yesterday when he noticed the mare laboring. He tried to hurry her to a horse trailer parked down the street, 'but the stork beat me' and the children watched the birth."
