Julie-I live in the old boundaries of the North Central States mission right next door to Sask. Your father would be very proud of the growth of the Church in Saskatchewan! 2 stakes and a Temple!

I’m not sure which I like more, Julie — that you found a personally relevant picture, or that you actually know the names of your father’s mission companions! Either way is cool.

My Dad spent some time in Saskatchewan on his mission from 1941-1943. It must have been a period of time after this, though I do see one of his companions in the photo. This was part of the North Central States Mission headquartered in Minneapolis. I love these old photos!

My husband, Gary, has his bandalo, and I have mine.

I think we should try to set a record for the highest number of different spellings of bandalleaux.

Mark, my mother was baptized in the St. George temple when she was eight, then baptized for 30 people before she left the font. She said that they often did it after age eight.

Uh oh, Gary, you’re showing your age by noticing the bandlos…

Glendale and the Garvanza ward are not that far apart, I served 9 months of my mission in Glendale and loved every minute of it. Neat to see missionaries out in Saskatchewan!

The Pocatello boys are not only wearing bandelos, but also uniform hats, as well as white pants and shirts. I wonder if this was the result of some suggestion from SLC or the efforts of a local leader.

I checked Wikipedia re “Garvanza” and found that it is considered the birthplace of the arts and crafts movement in Southern California. The Judson stained glass studio was located in that area of Los Angeles. The ward house does have an arts and crafts look to it. It would be nice to know what it looked like in the 30′s and 40′s. Googling produces a photo from the 70′s, which does not look like the same building to me.
