G.D. Fronabarger left the Missourian boxes and boxes of negatives. What he didn't leave were IDs for them. Pictures of the Past features some of Frony's images we've partially identified. We're hoping you can help fill in the blanks. Contact librarian Sharon Sanders at ssanders@semissourian.com, if you recognize a place or a face.

Tony Smee wrote: "This appears to be Troop 8, chartered to Trinity Lutheran. The date would be roughly 1955, as evidenced by a few things: The boy third from left on the front is wearing a neckerchief slide from the "Strengthen the Arm of Liberty" campaign that went from 1950-1952... The two boys on the left, front row, are wearing liberty bell neckerchief slides. These were commemorative of a "Get Out the Vote" campaign in 1952... Some boys are wearing khaki and red "Cape Girardeau strips," and a couple of them are wearing red and white strips. Red and white strips replaced khaki and red strips in 1955. The ones who joined in 1955, or got new uniforms in 1955, would have used the red and white. The boy second from the right on the front row was an Explorer Scout... Now, all you have to do is find someone who was in Trinity Lutheran Troop 8 (or Explorer Post 8) in the mid-1950's to help you with names!" Robert Brinkopf wrote: "Some of the Scout faces are familiar, but I can't put names to them. The troop leaders in the back row are Gene Popp, John Beaudean, Wilton Suedekum, Bill Lehne, and Anderson Jones."

This group of volunteers is focused on its United Way campaign kits. Vicki Outman wrote: "The two ladies are Susan Bohnsack (later Cole), and on the right, Carole Harrelson (Meyers). They were both Tri-Delta's at SEMO and were wearing the formal suit in aqua blue that Tri-Delts wore for dress events. That would have been in 1963 or 1964. They were sorority sisters of mine."
