The Cold Trail

This week we were at the Mayor’s office digging through boxes. We found some fabulous images, but also a lack of information. One set of photos appears to be from the fifties and attached was a tiny post-it note reading, “See email”. E-mail, what e-mail? Where, when, who, why? We are left with nothing but questions. Technology is glorious, but sometimes it can be detrimental. Our historical tip for today---label your pictures! You might know who is in them now, but for the sake of future generations the more detail the better.

We suspect it might be a homecoming court, but have no way of knowing. We are hoping that we can track down someone in the community who knows someone in this picture. If that someone is you, please drop us a line at MVWaHistory@gmail.com.
