Mary Ann Roepke Bachus says... "The blond in the front row with the marvelous hairdo and the little girl between John Erskine and me is Karen Johnson (now deceased). Bruce Dunn had a little brother, Blake, who was my age and I think that must be him next to me. Don't know who the other 2 little girls are."

1950 Presbyterian Church Choir... "Finally I went to the church and looked in my archives to find a name for all the kids singing in the choirs. These pictures were taken for church at Christmas time. Risers were built for the kids and each had a bough to hold making it appear like a Christmas tree. There were three choirs with some thirty-five boys and girls about 1950. Hazel Monfort, Director (Not pictured); Mary Erskine, Assistant (Not pictured); and Barbara Dunn, at the piano.
