Hi my name is Lorna Fuller Woolverton. Back in the middle 60s there was a photo of me with my siblings all in our scout uniforms. Is there anyway to get a hold of it. I have no one left in that area to search for me.
Thank you

I found a 35mm slide of a young man wearing a Redford high school gray sweater with a red letter for swimming dated 1940’s I like to pass it a long to someone interested.
