I found a picture in an old book - looks like a grad photo of 4 couples --- the young people had signed it. Joyce Hartwell and beside her, David Hill. They were so young and looked so elegant. The couples are sitting around a table at a fine dining place. The photo was taken by Harold White Studio. I wonder if any of the family is interested in having the photo. I don't quite know what to do with it -- a piece of visual history. - Posted by: anita Shackleford (no relation) on: Apr 27, 2025
