Like Radar O’Reilly’s uncanny ability to detect incoming choppers and to finish other people’s sentences I have always had it I suppose!

Bravo! And isn’t the usual prize a get-out-of-Sunday-School-free card? : )

Cameron is definitely good at this game! Two more brownie points awarded. Collect enough of them and — and — well, I don’t know, but keep collecting them.

Orson F. Whitney of the Twelve in the Wales pictures, last one in the series. Also David O. Mckay in the Queensland pictures, I think, 1920-21 was when Elder McKay was doing his round the world tour as how he got to Tonga and Australia

Aaron, I’ll send the photo (it’ll have to be after I get home tonight). I scan these at 600 dpi, but don’t expect too much — the pictures are usually very small (sometimes not more than an inch and a half square), and they’re printed on cheap paper in yellowed magazines. That means you get pretty clear pictures of the dots they’re made up of! Still, sometimes people have been able to recognize people from enlarging the scans.

Ardis or Bruce,
Where you able to recognize any family from the Sanford, Colorado photo? I also had family around that time there. Could I get the high res copy too? Thanks!

I’ll send you what I’ve got. These scans were all made at 600 dpi, but they were made from poorly printed half tones, sometimes postage-stamp size, so “resolution” is a relative thing.

Ardis,
Do you have a higher resolution version of the Sanford, Colorado photo? It may be a long shot, but there was at least one Cane Creek family living there at the time and I was hoping to see if they are in the photo.

Another note regarding the age policy: I randomly looked up biographical data on two women who were called to serve in 1935 (names were noted in the Liahona). As far as I can determine, one was 22 and the other was 18 (nearly 19) upon arrival in the mission field.

My Gridley friend says that the town was founded by Latter-day Saints. Certainly there are a lot of Mormons there now, especially considering how tiny the place is.

Fun to see early Chicago missionaries up there. I’ve got a permanent soft-spot for the work in Illinois.
