A Quick post tonight

I have been swamped today on a time sensitive project.  So I just going to post a picture tonight.

This was taken at O Mile Post Alaska in 1952 when David and Ray Riley (and two others)  made the trip from Akron to Alaska in an old hearse.  I will have to get Ray to write about the trip there and his exciting trip home.  They were hoping to get high paying jobs.  Ray turned 18 while on the trip and in fact, he registered for the draft in Fairbanks.  It was quite an adventure.

Family Picture Friday: Thomas Percy Riley & Thomas Bowen Riley

Alice Addy Neal sent this picture recently and didn't know who was in it.  It is Thomas Percy Riley and his wife Jessie (on the couch), on the floor is Thomas Bowen Riley with their three children Robin (the baby), Ty and Dave. Marquerita is on the couch between Tom and Jessie.  My guess this picture is from the late 50's or very early 60's.


It is nice to know that it could be identified and I will be forwarding the original onto Robin.  Don't forget that you can click on the picture to look at it bigger.
