Description

Twenty-five strips containing 91 photos--all but one of which show individuals. One set (frames #9-22) is fourteen separate portraits of 4 elementary age students (probably two girls and two boys). Another set (frames #30-44 and #1-5) is 20 pictures, each featuring one of 9 students (who appear to be middle school or late elementary age). The photostrips for this set have the date 5-5-74. A third set (frames #31-40) primarily focuses on two individual men; the older of the two (frames #31-34) is in a sweater vest and tie while the younger (frames #35-39) is in a sport coat and tie and shown outside with a house or commercial strip respectively in the backdrop. The commercial signs that can be read include: Greg's Fireplace Shop, Patrick's Decorating Center ("Grand opening January 3"), and Massoth Auto Parts. The photostrips for this set are dated 1-5-77 and say that the two men are Pat Martin (probably Frames #35-39) and Wendall (Wendell?) Gregory (Frames 31-34). Frame #40 is identified as the Marvin Rd dump. A fourth set of photos (frames #19-23) (dated 9-24-75) shows a man in his late 20s-early 30s in a sweater (#19-22) and a different man in a sportscoat and turtleneck in frame #23. A fifth set of photos (dated 10-15-75) shows respectively: A) a man in his 50s-60s in a coat and tie and flag pin (frames #25-26); B) another man, wearing glasses, of similar age in a light colored coat with a striped tie and flag pin (frames #17-18); and C) a third man wearing glasses in a dark coat and tie--with a United Way pin and flag pin on his lapel (frames #43-44,1-2). A sixth set of photos (dated 10-9-74) shows: A) a young man (20s to early 30s) in a lightly plaid coat with a tie (frames #36-38); and B) a somewhat older and balding man, wearing glasses, in a sports jacket and modified turtleneck (frames #40-42). A seventh set of photos (dated 2-18-77) shows: A) a man in his 30s-40s in a dark coat and tie (based on the marking on the photostrip, possibly Tom Wilson) (frames #1-4); B) a man of similar age, wearing glasses and dark coat and tie, posed in front of what could be a law library or college library set of bookshelves--who is probably Ken Ahlf (frames #15-18). An eighth set of photos (dated 2-25-77) showing: A) four pictures of an older man (60+) wearing glasses and dressed in a casual jacket with a collared shirt (frames #15-18). The photostrip provides three possible names for him--Dan Manley, Luke Lucchesi or John L. Ko; and B) two pictures of a mustachioed man in his 20s-30s dressed in a similar coat to the man in #A but with a more casual shirt--who is also potentially Dan Manley, Luke Lucchesi or John L. Ko (frames #28-29) followed by two pictures of a woman identified as Kay Boyd (frames #26-27); A final set of unidentified photos showing: A) a woman in her 50s-60s dressed in a coat and dressy blouse with two buttons on her lapel--one of which appears to say "Lacey 1980" or "Lacey Days" (Frames #32-36); B) a man in his 30's in a coat and tie (frames #29-31); and C) a man in his 30s-40s in a more tweedy jacket (and tie) with a wall behind him that is paneled about halfway up the wall (frames #6-7).
