I personally doubt that this is a comprehensive list, but rather those who were known at the time. If anyone has better information, I’d be happy to hear it. Thank you.
Great list, in any event. Great to have available for future reference.
This listing is similar to one I have seen from Coon Rapids High School in, I believe, 1919... ;-)
Families are Forever! ;-)
There's nothing more fun than sharing a horse ride.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine them going very far with all four of them on there... ;-)
DeleteThose old nicknames were a stitch. My brother was actually Butch for a time back in the 1950s. My mother's maiden name was McGhee so her nickname when she worked at Boeing during the war was "Fibber."
ReplyDeleteHappy that you enjoyed them! You had some good ones, there, as well!! ;-) Thanks for sharing! ;-)
