Ogden Standard Examiner 1943.........
I mentioned this in one of my previous posts. It is the story of my brother Raymond when he was 6 years old. The picture pretty much says it all. Mom is holding Raymond, Dad is in the center and my sister Carolyn [3 yrs old] is on the right. Grandma Mayhew is standing behind. Any one who has ever "lost" their child even for a few minutes will understand this picture. To read the article from the 1943 newspaper below, double click on it. Enjoy.

Colleen,
I loved this story and the picture - talk about nostalgic. I felt like I was reading Mark Twain and your brother was Huck Finn - My favorite part is the headline "Prodigal Returns" and the fact your brother called himself Conrad - what an adventurer.
What a fun story. I think your brother sounds hilarious. He knew where he was so there shouldn't have been a problem at all right?
I love the story mom and the picture. Did you have this article saved somewhere?
I don't even recognize Grandma. Thanks for sharing this photo and the memory. Love you.
