Strand/Henrickson Family Photos

 The theme for this week is "New to You." I thought I would post some pictures that were new to me, and maybe new to you too.

Starting lower left, clockwise: Janice Henrickson, Carl Strand, Jack Strand, Miriam Strand, Joyce Strand, Ray Henrickson, Viola Henrickson, Vernon Henrickson, Paul Henrickson, Ilene Henrickson, Mildred Strand, Fred Strand, Marvin Henrickson, Ken Strand

Another picture of Ray Henrickson and his Fahnstrom cousins, 1943.

One more picture of Ray Henrickson and his brother Evald and their colts, 1930.

Pictures, letters, documents, etc. are all appreciated. Questions, comments, thoughts and remembrances in the comments or email me. Thanks for reading. Until next time.
