I've had this picture for several years, and have decided to give up on finding out all the names of the young people at this "Vacation Bible School, Fairbanks, Alaska." Probably taken about 1935, I know the boy holding the flag on the lower left is Stanton Patty, that his younger brother is in the picture, and that Anna and John Youle (the Presbyterian minister) and in the picture. There are also Stepoviches, Marlins and other families in the 70-plus-year-old photo. The Bible School held at the Presbyterian Church was nondenominational, so many young children attended this summer event. Do you recognize anyone? — Candy Waugaman
