( comments) 5X7 Exeter graduation photo of Don. Assume taken in Alexandria (Vernon Studio) around Christmas break. A smaller copy of this was ZL3 019. Jan 1961
1961-2
( comments) This is Don's graduation photo from Exeter. Note the stylish "flattop" haircut! Assume Jan 1961 as it was taken in time to be in PEAN (yearbook) Not clear why it says National Photo Co as same as Vernon Studio photo.
1961-3

1961-4
( comments) "Allen & Irene & Karen Christine Eilers in Ellen & Don's home Karen's baptism Feb ? 1961" These two baptism photos most likely came from Eilers. Assume Feb 1961 is correct.
1961-5
( comments) "Jack & Lou Holsinger & Ricky April ? 1961" Ricky was born late 1957 so he could be 3 1/2 here. Assume April 1961 is good.

1961-7
( comments) "Paul Strandberg, Richard Johnson, Larry Olson, Bonnie Olson, Margaret Ljung, LaVonne Heid May 1961" This photo possibly not from a Ljung camera as printer stamp is different.

( comments) "Paul Strandberg, Richard Johnson, Larry Olson, Margaret Ljung, Bonnie Olson, LaVonne Heid Confirmation May 7, 1961"
1961-9
( comments) Dad labeled "Vernon, Evelyn, Janet and Ronnie Hanson" Vernon is an older brother of Mom's. This looks like Janet's confirmation so it would be about 1961 as she is same age as Mikki. Assume May 1961
1961-10
( comments) Dad wrote on back "Priscilla Holsinger Daughter of Jack & Lou Holsinger - Pennsylvania (Army Friends). Priscilla was a few months older than Don (several 1944 photos of Don and Priscilla playing together) . This looks like a HS graduation photo so assume May 1961.

( comments) Jerry, Kenny, Don, Mikki (At a pump) at Big Stone Mtn (?) New Hampshire Picnic supper June 11, 1961" There is a Stone Mountain Arts Center in Maine, maybe 40 miles from Exeter.

1961-18
( comments) "Charlie Warlick, Serre Murphy, Don Ljung, Mark Coleman Phillips Exeter Academy June 10, 1961" In front of Davis Library Photo of AC Gilman seniors. My guess is that this is Sunday June 11 (Graduation Day) and not June 10 as Mom says.
