[AT] Image from the past

Mike please give Lucille my regards.  I don't think I have her e-mail 
address any longer due to a computer problem.   I often wonder how she is 
getting along.

Subject: [AT] Image from the past

Lucile Monson was going through some old photos and came across one that
Cecil took and labeled. She thought I might be interested and scanned it
in and sent it to me as an email attachment. I sent a note to Jim Becker
and Steve Offiler to see if they could pinpoint the date and location.

I put the image up in my Cecil Monson album:

So, if anyone can nail down the actual date, let me know so I can
correct the record. And if anyone wants their very own copy, send me a
note off-line to <mikesloane at verizon.net>. I have asked Lucile for a
little bit larger scan without the glass and frame, so I may be able to
replace the image with a better one in the future.
