Was messing around with verse seven to try and make an acrostic and came up with this.
THE GIANT GIFT

The Spreckles Music Temple was a gift to the city.

So was Peace Lantern. Remember Pearl Harbor.

"This 9,000 pound bronze lantern was purchased with contributions from school children of Japan as a symbol of friendship to the United States. Yasusuke Katsuno, the Japanese Consul General, formally presented the Peace Lantern on January 8, 1953. The gift was a commemoration of the US Japanese peace treaty signed in San Francisco in 1951."

That works too.

Most of you know Ben Asen is selling some prints of his photos from the field guide. There are two of the prints that caught my eye. One is the Phil Harmonic Orc directing, he mentions in the description of the photo how JoEllen for whatever reason was brushed out book image and but can be seen in the copy of the original print. The other is of the photo for Team Spirit. You can definitely tell that the two in his jersey number was modified in the book. Just find this interesting.

The Spreckels Temple of Music certainly was a gift, but was it a Giant Gift? It’s large but is it significantly larger than any other bandshell. Does anyone call it a Giant Bandshell? You could say it’s  Giant in a monetary sense. Giant becomes a relative term and not a specific one. The only way I can combine both of the words Giant and Gift with certainty ,( keep it simple) is the slab of the Twain Giant Sequoia that was gifted to the American museum of Natural History in NewYork city. This I believe is how San Francisco and NewYork tie in together along with the JFK theme in both places. Just my opinion.
Keep at it though.The only way to the final solution is see more ideas and clues that are hidden.

I was thinking gift in monetary terms, $74,000 in 1900 was a giant sum of money, as well as the word giant possibly being another reference to the two sequoias, I think are important.  Yeah, that is what all of us need to do is keep at it! Maybe we will get these things figured out before another forty years go by!

This was my theory of a possibility for this one:
This is for Image 1 Verse 7
Morcom Amphitheater of Roses (Morcom Rose Garden) Oakland, CA
via Piedmont Park Piedmont, CA

Verse:
At a stone walks door the air is sweet (Entrance to Piedmont Park and the Candy salesman that would set up there)
Not far away high posts are three education and justice for all to see (Piedmont Middle and High Schools and the Piedmont Tennis Courts)
Sounds from the Sky (Piedmont Center for the Arts, also close to chapel at cemetery)
Near ace is high (Tennis reference and Piedmont Park once had a casino on site)
Running north, but first across (Head due west of park, running slightly north to Morcom Rose Garden)
In the jewels direction is an object of Twains attention (Twain visited Piedmont Park for it's healing tonics. Morcom Rose Garden celebrates where Twain claims to have inherited his sense of humor, his mother)
Giant pole (Flag pole at entrance to Morcom Rose Garden)
Giant step (Giant number of steps to the Mothers Walk)
To the place the casque is kept. (Near year 1970 on the walk. GPR scan the east side of the sidewalk near 37.820622 -122.246966)

Illustration
This is a reflection image denoted by the letters h and G at the top of the dress.
Illustration immigration reference is China. California Chinese immigration is well known.
The "door" on the illustration resembles the Exedra at Piedmont park with the blue vase.
Shape under the dragon's head is Alameda County.
Bubbles represent the mineral springs at Piedmont Park.
The springs tie the Piedmont Park to Mark Twain at the Grotto.
The table post is the blue vase at the entrance to Piedmont Park.
The rose in the illustration links to the Morcom Rose Garden.
(I used a recent park map for Morcom Rose Garden for the following comparisons)
The outer walkway of the garden is the shape of the lady.
Area marked "wedding" is the rose.
The Florentine Garden is the lady's face and the watch face at 6 o'clock.
The Mother's Walk is the lady's neck. Pearl should be there, east side near 1970.
Numbers down the center panel of dress like the numbers down the Mother's Walk.
Lady is pointing to a sleeve band that resembles the Fountain Cascade.
Roman numerals give the numbers 122 and 123.
Curls of hair give the numbers 37 and 38.
These numbers fit the longitude/latitude for the park.
Other symbols on dress are symbols used in landscape architectural drawings.
The Yin Yang symbol represents the China Rose family where we get many of today's hybrid varieties and changed the way we cultivate roses today for weather tolerance, appearance, longevity of bloom etc.

Does anyone have older pics of Japanese Garden or Shakespeare's Garden?
