6	IMG-026-006	1937	Niagara Falls		This must be the American Falls. I guess they allowed people to go down among the rocks then. Don't think you can do that now.

13	IMG-026-013	1937		Frank, Gen, Chief	Notice the clothes in pics 013-016: they're the same as the clothes they were wearing at Niagara Falls. So I assume this is either going to or coming from the Falls.

80	IMG-026-080			Gen	Wondering if that is an outhouse. I'm pretty sure that's Gen ... look at the dress and hat in the picture before and after this one.

101	IMG-026-101				The negatives for pics 101-103 were so large that I could not scan the entire picture (using the negative scanner). So the tops of these pictures are cropped off.
102	IMG-026-102
103	IMG-026-103			Dot	Or should I say Cpl. Dot?
104	IMG-026-104				See also IMG-025-002. That's the same scene but with Chief in it.

107	IMG-026-107
108	IMG-026-108				Pics 108-113 were VERY dark. I was surprised that I was able to get any detail out of them. They appear (mostly) to be Girl Scout related.
