I found the family photos taken in 1938 at the Mormon monument southwest of the old Niobrara State Park. At left are Fern Peters Koftan and Audree Koftan Ellingson; at right are Fern and Laurence Koftan.
Below are Laurence and his father, Joseph Koftan; then Earl and Audree Koftan Ellingson.
The triple set below are self-labelled and related to the remark in the last entry about the birds and animals at the park superintendent's. Marilynn Peterson, the daughter of the county attorney, was my best friend/like a sister, since our mothers were good friends and went to movies together every week (with us, of course).
Finally, I had forgotten I had this O'Neill Photo postcard of the old Niobrara State Park swinging bridge, obviously considered a tourist sight. This looks south toward State Highway 12 beyond the evergreens and seems taken from one of the rentable rowboats. The park entrance is at the left, hidden by the shelter house.
