The following picture is found in the Norman No. 1 Museum on East Main Street. I have scanned in the image and also the identifications. We are lucky to have had Joe W. Allen, Cecil Boster, Shirley Hanson, as well as Warren McClintock and the Osborn's today. The identifications were obtained by Warren and typed up. They appear in the museum with the photograph. I have added the list of names at the bottom of the page. However, I have made little text boxes so that when you put your cursor over the eyes of each individual, their name should appear at the cursor. There is no practical way to reduce the image and still be able to see the people well enough. The picture is encased in a glass frame, which causes loss of image as well as shiny spots. Still it has been about 10 hours work to get this far.
