Inscribed “for Ron Wallace of Santa Rosa, California”.

The dance notes also say that “The Wallace Tower was an old building in the Netherkirkgate in the centre of Aberdeen. It was taken down in 1964 to make way for an expansion of Marks and Spencers and was rebuilt high above the River Don near St. Hachar’s Cathedral.”
