This one appears to have a story. I just don't know it. The town may or may not be Carroll. I have a handful of photographs which date from Mom's childhood in western Iowa. We can safely assume all of 'em date from the 1930s. Unfortunately, I don't know much more than I just told you about most of the set....

Probably Dedham, Iowa, 1930s. From my mother's collection; she grew up in Carroll. Information about the bus would be welcome--leave a comment if you know anything. Thanks. Photographer and camera unknown. Scan updated--but still not good--12/20/05.

My mom, and her dad, on an Iowa porch around 1930. This old, battered photograph is a family treasure.

I've got a pair of not-quite-identical photographs of this pretty barn. It's somewhere in western Iowa. Or at least it was in the 1930s, when the photo appears to have been taken. Looks a lot like it was under construction. Once again: There's a story here, somewhere. I don't know it, though.

This would be me, aging before your very eyes.... On my fiftieth birthday, my colleagues threw me a party. Since I expected it, I brought my camera. Not sure who took the picture, but Vicky Dittmer was ringleader for the mess in the office. Picture taken 2/27/1999 Camera: Nikon N90s

When we dropped in on my Uncle Keith's 80th birthday party the other day, Aunt Jackie handed me this photograph of me and my grandfather. According to the note on the back, I was eight months old--so we'll date the picture as October, 1949. In all honesty, I don't remember Grandpa ever looking this young; he was 60 years older than me, and I really only remember him as an old man. Scanned from a faded, small, slightly-out-of-focus print. Not sure who took it, nor where the photo was taken, but it must be in or near Kalamazoo. Significantly cropped to remove a bush which doesn't contribute anything much to the original photograph. Some noise removed, but I couldn't do much about the focus problems. Not particularly related: The view counter on my photostream went over 9000 while I was posting this photo. Thanks for looking.
