I found a photo album at a flea market in Vacaville, California. It appears to be photos
from someone's college days. Most of the photos were taken in 1931. There are
snapshots of young people on a trip to Pike's Peak in an old car named
"Sarah". Some of the photos have names on them: Jack REINHART, Socarro New
Mexico taken 7/31/1931, young man on a porch in the snow "Ross", young man in
derby hat & bow tie sitting on porch steps Harold NORRIS, no date. Two young men Don
NAYLER, Golden, CO and Doc PAVELITICH, New Mexico, young man sitting on the rocks is John
BURKE. There isn't a picture of Cal CARPENTER but there are 3 poems written by him
(he signs his name "The Poet of the Platte") in July, 1931 called "Camp
Satisfaction", "A Wanderer's Litany" and "Our Old Friends".
There are photos of college football games in Boulder, Colorado taken 10/17/1931, photos
of University of Louisville, KY, Indiana University and Purdue University. The photos
are old but !
most of them are in perfect condition. Several of the photos were developed at
Warren's Better Kodak Finishing - West Lafayette, Indiana on Oct 5, 1931.
There is also a loose newspaper clipping about the death of Judge Joseph HERRON of the
Howard Circuit Court and Dean of the local legal profession. The article mentions his
secretary Goldie PERRY, his doctor Wilbur J. MARSHALL, his neighbors Joseph HARRIS and
Margaret CRAIG, and his daughter Mrs. Ruth ANDERSON arriving from Wash.DC. No date on
this article, it appears to be old, no state mentioned but a town mentioned in the article
is Delphi and his address was W. Mulberry Street.
I would love to see this photo album and this article returned to a relative of some of
these people. Someone went to great trouble to put this photo album together. If the
relatives can't be found I would at least like one of the colleges to have it.
