A couple of old newspaper clippings from 1957. One is of the young guys and me setting up in February to warm up for Field Day coming up in June. This one was setup in my back yard. The second was taken at Field Day, June 1957. I got the clippings from my aunt who lives in San Angelo. She had written our names on them and I will give you a better breakdown. |
