I'm pretty sure the blonde two to the right from the Byrd girls also went to Daniels although I don't see her face in my class photos, although I went through them pretty quickly. I'll review again later when I have a little more time.Sue Madridnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185899036941198756.post-72287789827644879252011-02-24T22:05:08.941-06:002011-02-24T22:05:08.941-06:00This is a mechanical scale used years ago in retai...This is a mechanical scale used years ago in retail stores. Clerk could read dial "clockwise" on one side, customer saw same reading in "counter clockwise" on other side.

Can you imagine fishing with that thing on?

She won the rod, I won the tackle box.

Remember the vending (soda) machines that gave you the bottle of soda? We had one at Bernhard's Locker Plant--again, it so intrigued me as a kid--you turned a dial and the drinks came out ice cold!!Julie B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185899036941198756.post-80267877935239263282011-02-06T15:14:29.516-06:002011-02-06T15:14:29.516-06:00Joe, I also see, I believe, Ricky Goldman in photo...Joe, I also see, I believe, Ricky Goldman in photo 2, on the right side in the plaid shirt, so I think that is Jeff Goldman in photo 1.

Goldman<br />Bottom row, starting from left side: 3rd and 4th girls: Holly and Lynn Byrd (Bird?), 9th boy, Gerry Stoepel?, 12th boy, and this is GREAT: Earl (or Carvel) Bernhard, my cousins.<br /><br />photo 2: The man judging on the far right of the men, is my grandfather, Earl Bernhard!<br /><br />I also see, in the far background, a woman carrying a Collins handbag. That bag would be worth lots of money these days!!<br /><br />Thanks, Joe.
