Ed writes: "My name is Ed Reasoner and I grew up on a farm 2 1/2 miles south of Ellston. My father was Vern Reasoner was born in 1907 and grew up on the family farm. My wife and I recently found the enclosed photos of a book that the teacher at Zwick School gave to each of the students. We found the book in a Bible, a gift to them from Vern's sister, Faye, in 1965. . . .Given the photos and history, we thought you'd enjoy it."

Yes, Ed, we really enjoy these treasures! Thank you for sharing them with us!
