The New Museum in Town

Art Peterson has sent along a few photos taken on June 5, 1966, by George Krambles when he visited a new (or, at least, recently relocated) museum in a town northwest of Elgin called Union. All photos are from the Krambles-Peterson Archive.

Can anyone identify any of these folks?

Here's Herb Hanson, soon-to-be-purchaser of the Zephyr and later museum president.

This one is identified as Tom Jervan; any idea on the others?

  1. That can't be Jervan. He's not wearing a white shirt.

    1. Morning Randall - 10-4 on being out of uniform! "Jervan" and "Hanson" were the only names George had noted on the mounts of the three images. FWIW,

  2. Gregg says: The June of 1966 flashback definitely has Tom Jervan in it. Although, I'm a little sceptical about that without the trademark white t-shirt and tennis shoes! The middle photo is Herb Hansen before he attained gray hair from being the president. Wish I could figure out the others.

  3. It would be nice if we had better resolution, but looking at the first picture of the handcar crossing the Olson superhighway, I'm going to say that the two guys on the far side of the car are Jeff and Norm. Anybody have a better idea?

  4. A couple of other possibilities on the last slide...Warren Cobb or Bill Nedden?
