Note:  These scans are not very clear because I have taken them from very fragile and tattered 64 year old newsprint.  However, I felt they were well worth bringing to the net to share.  In many cases I have been able to enlarge the original photo in order to see faces more clearly.  I have listed names under the pictures in the hopes that some of you may find a relation by using the search engine.
