Contributed by Joe Richert, Captain Wally Lindemann, Jim Yanke, Merrill Price, Ed Henry and Mark Llanuza.  We found some from the old site, enhanced them a bit and here they are again.  The “identity problems,” are gone, at least on this page!  Keith Luebke identified none other than himself, 4th picture down on the right.  Bob Fisher recognized Merv “Chili” Childress in the 4th photo down on the left, pointing out that “Chili” was a Chicago Terminal man.  Sincere thanks to Bob and Keith!

From Alma, Arkansas, the Spinach Capital of the World, comes this photograph of Ed Henry.  It looks like he stocked up on the stuff Alma is famous for and also took time out to get his summer haircut!
