My mother wrote on the back of this picture: "Mullan High School. Rita, Adrienne, Florence all graduated from here -- Rita in 1928 (she finished in three years), Adrienne in 1931, & Florence in 1935 -- and Barry in 1958. One small corner of the elementary school shows in the background. Ken was school superintendent here for four years, then we came to BYU."

A reminder of one of my greater ego trips. I ran for President of the freshman class at BYU in 1958. This was my campaign picture. I came in 5th out of 13 candidates. End of political career!!!

Johnny Prescott's Shell station on the old highway in Mullan. Dad bought all his gas from Johnny.

Middle, L to R: Teacher Jean Mizer, Jackie O'Donnell (at that time Jack was the american junior national champion trap shooter. We called him quack, quills, and other names that I never understood.

Bottom, L to R: Lois Shoemaker, Jack Larson, Joy Ivie, Johnny Pascoe, Karen Williams, Mickey Barker, Gerry Baldwin.
