Sentimental Sunday: "Thorn Between Two Roses"


The caption my mother wrote on the back of this picture is:
"Kate, Dad & Me 'Thorn Between Two Roses!' Taken Summer of '42 Indianapolis"
Kate Jackson (18) - best friend (a lovely lady still living as of this writing), Lawrence Runyan (49) & Janet Runyan (18) - Father & Daughter 
I'm just wondering about the "summer" part since the ladies have on warm coats!

Somewhere In Wyoming: One Room School House 1921

~Morris Henry "Bud" Newby and students~


My maternal grandmother's brother Bud Newby, age 22.  He grew up in Knightstown, Henry Co., Indiana and was educated at Ball State Teacher's College at Indianapolis. He made the journey all the way to Wyoming for his very first teaching assignment. He only taught here one year but I'd sure like to know exactly where this was.
