  This photo has stirred up some memories This photo was pre Grapes of wrath.
   after detailed scrutiny , I came up with afew names and nick names. Of course we know that Leo was the cute one . I amthe one with the big ears  and Pius at  the right end front row with the frown on his face looks like he just lost two marbles in a game of fish. Must have made a bad lag from the line. Some kid with asteely for a shooter .wiped him out. I was able to pick out  Louis and  Leslie Lee and thier sisters Shirley and Sndy Mae. Sam Romano "Pete", and his sister Rose.Martha and Helen Hernandes also had asister named Rose ,but she was older.I couldn't find  Howard Deaver     Bob, JIm,and older brother Blake , in the top row.  I think the tall guy ,top row, is Joe Clovis. Herr Von Golly Dang ,Floyd and his brother jack . That may be Howard next to them on the toprow right end.I spotted Rose the squaw, the indian girl tht lived at Keparts small house.That may be Mud Hen in the middle row, the small one, Of course we couldn't miss Earl Miller and his brother Marvin.  Earl was a character , he came to school year round bare footed an d loved to slide on the ice, on the mud puddles.I am unsure which one of the girls is Deloris Quistini. We can,t forget James Abernathy, also known.  Pendix   Every time there was a test his side would hurt, so he would tell the teacher he had a   Pendix attack.    The guy next to the cute one must be Delmar The Jappanes kid on the front row is Shigarie , One of thesmall kids in the front row is the kid that was being raised by his grand parentsRutheford.,who lived o Crowslanding road.I don't remember his name. Another one I am not sure of is next to the tall guy top row might be Bob Rudell.
  That is the best I could come up with for this picture, but I.d like to see the next picture including our new friends from the Gapes of Wrath. There are some great names in the group , like Bruford , Bartholume, Tuffy Gerldine Bertha , Okie whitmire ,Larr, Richar Spaford. [ the guy with the crooked limb bass   fiddle.  and of course all the cowboys and indians that shot one another from the hiles in the old out house behind the shed.And what about the guys that dug a cave behind the back stop. and the green, blacck walnut fights we ha until Marvin got hit in the eye. The great scrap iron drive we had for the war effert.,          which brought about the alarm clock era, some great stories there .Then came mrs. Barnes, at all of five ft. Much too small for some of the big Okies that were 16 years old in the sixth grade. She lasted half fo a year. Then came Mr. Hardesty,the ex cop. some other names just came to mind. Winsten and Winford, LaVida and LaVeda. Some one needs to find that picture!   I hope that awackend some memories.    uncle Bill
