Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

Let's remember our childhood summers! Please send me pictures from your scrap book showing all the fun things you did in the summer. No need to write an essay. Simply let me know where and when the picture was taken and identify yourself and others in the picture. Send to me at woodsdalekids@comcast.net.  (Preferably send a jpeg, but other formats should work.) I will handle the rest.

Below is a picture from the summer of 1960 of a combined Boy Scout Troop from Wheeling attending the 50th Boy Scout Jamboree in Colorado Springs, Colorado. As I remember, the majority of scouts pictured here were the older members of troops from Vance and St. Michael's churches.

Easter Parade!

Revised: This is a picture of the Woodsdale kindergarten class of 1951 decked out in their “hand-crafted” hats and bonnets. I am told by Kate Quinn, the "Expert" in Woodsdale matters of history, the occasion for this picture was an Easter Parade.  It was no doubt a special occasion considering we all are dressed in our finest attire. Considering my position compared to the rest of the boys, I can now see why I was destined to become a catcher on the Pike Cubs. (4th from the left) Thanks Kate!
