About a decade ago my wife and I visited her grandparents. They had cigar boxes of old family pictures and wanted us to help ourselves. We left with an envelope of early day logging and hunting pictures. This picture was in with them, don't know who either of the fellows was as we didn't get names or date written on the backs of them. (lesson learned)

We have the same problem with very old family photos. My mother has an odd velvet box with a mirror on it, full of photos, mostly tin types, with no names. One photo is an old tin type photo of two coyotes chained to a pole. I would love to know more about it.

This pic of me and some pals on a spring bear hunt is almost forty years old. I hope to pass it along to my grandkids who might appreciate it fifty years down the road. I guess the digital camera age has changed everything.

Would never have recognized Keith Gregerson off of that picture! They are all young men in that pic. I wonder if William Perry was any relation to the Perry out in California, I believe was out of Half Moon Bay. Lots of knowledg and history in that pic!

Someone should be able to date that car with the type of bumper and the rumble seat in the back . That mink looks a little lively.

There was a Frank Terry out of Half Moon Bay, California. Was James Mast son-in-law and made Mast lures for many years. I met him several times, a real gentleman and a darn good muskrat trapper.

Nice photo sadly we lost almost all of our old photos in. A house fire

Not a rumble seat but a trunk it looks like to me but from the clothing I would say it’s from the 40s I have one of my dad from that era and he is wearing almost the same cloths as the guy on the right except my dad favored Fred bear type hats over caps

Thanks Nancy, I wasn't sure when I wrote that, and once you said that, it popped back in this old brain! Seems as if I've heard of Perry from somewhere!

Lee if I remember correctly William Perry lived south of Great Falls in Cascade I meet his daughter's year's ago through a mutual friend. I'll try to catch up with Kevin and find out more if you like.

No big deal, Allan. I was just reminiscing! There are a lot of people locked up in this old brain, and not easy to sort them out sometimes! Thanks!
