What a boy saw: Butt-Holdsworth Memorial Library Dedication, August 1967

I've placed an arrow at a young fellow in a photograph from my collection.  Did you notice him before? He's the one with a camera, taking pictures.  I've often wondered who he was, and what his photographs looked like.

Note the boy with the camera, Marvin Neunhoffer. (Follow arrow.)

Julius Neunhoffer knew exactly who that boy with the camera is -- it's his brother Marvin.  Their father, Julius Neunhoffer, was county judge in 1967 when the library was dedicated.  

Julius brought in some of the photographs Marvin took that day, including the one he's taking when the above photograph was taken.   Marvin was 11 years old at the event, so these photographs show what a young boy saw that day.

Behind them I see Tom Murray and Peggy Monroe.

Lady Bird Johnson.  It's not every day an 11 year old
gets to photograph the First Lady.

Even First Ladies like cake.  Gordon Monroe, who was
Kerrville's mayor then, is to the right.
