Curiosity



When? And Who? Or is it really a Rockwell......
Our first reaction? "Oh my, it's a Norman Rockwell!"
It couldn't be much closer without being a Rockwell image. But, it's actually one item from among a collection of historic images from the Kokomo YMCA. We enlarged the image in an attempt to read the date on the calendar in the background. It's fuzzy and difficult to make out, but appears to be October 1920-something. So....when do you think it was taken, and do you know who is in the picture?
What's It?
What's It? These artifacts were found in the collection. Do you know what they are? How they were used? Who might of used them? If you have any information about these object please call Stew Lauterbach at the historical society (765)452-4314
