Caption: “My daughter, Kris Drentlaw, from Green Bay, has this little friend who has been trying to get into the bird feeder for quite some time and has finally found a way to get his dinner.
“He really looks healthy! Sassy the cat lies below the feeder and watches as if to say ‘What are you doing, you funny little animal?’”

Caption: “This picture is of my brother, Galen Kirchner, and my sister Beverly (Kirchner) Virblas, at the Nutzman farm, where my dad was visiting many years ago. Mrs. Nutzman had just finished cleaning out her closets and gave them the hats, and she took their picture. They were so happy to get them.”

Caption: “We have enjoyed all the photos of the ponies and children in the Bulletin Board. Maybe one last one, maybe not.
“This is of my husband, Dennis, taken in 1948 in North St. Paul.
“The pony sure made its rounds, and was only 25 cents to ride him.
“Thank you.”

Caption: “I’ve been reading the Bulletin Board each day, Monday through Friday, and being an older person (85), appreciate the old-time pictures with goats . . . cows . . . wagons . . . cars . . . antique cars (pedal). Reminded me of sliding down on Wells Street hill on enameled refrigerator parts from Seeger Co.
“I thought the picture I’m enclosing would bring back some other memories. About the picture: I am the little boy, with my cousin. The car, I’ve been told, is a Hupmobile (right or wrong?). It’s parked on Minnehaha about a block west of Hamline. In the background is, I believe, the Saint Paul Bible College. The picture is dated about 1925, and I’m about 4 (born in 1921). The car was owned by my Uncle Emory A. Peterson. My cousin was Carol Peterson [apparently known as Kay]. They moved about that year when they bought a plot of land on Turtle Lake in Shoreview, and I lived with them until I lived with my mother on the East Side of St. Paul from the third grade on: Ericsson grade school, Cleveland Junior High and Johnson High School, graduating in 1940.”
