Stamped on back in black ink: "Professional Photo Services Aug 6 '83 Frank J Meyers Rawlins, Wyo." Emulsion cracked across top. Fingerprint smudged. Update 2012: Used as mystery Photo. We had several calls on our photo this week including one from Jane Lewis, the daughter of the man in the center, Elmer Peterson. The man on the far right was identified by Mark Kulmus as Lovell Jones who was appointed Chamber manager in the 1960's and the man on the left as Larry Shriner. This photo was taken on the Peterson Pass Creek Ranch in the 1960's era. The ranch sold off the sheep and went strictly to cattle about 1974.
