Larue Lindberg Prate has gone through the albums
to identify who
is in them, and while doing so recalled many vignettes of happenings
and
thoughts associated with particular photos. As Bert Lindberg created
this Web
version he added a few stories as well. This page gives links to
these vignettes. They are listed here simply in the order that they
appear in
the albums. In most instances, the link jumps to the picture concerned
with the
vignette -- be sure to scroll down from the picture to see the
vignette. Larue
also wrote several articles based on family recollections for her
column
"From the Front Porch" in the Guadalupe newspaper. Links to these are
given from the photo pages and also at the bottom of this page.
