A note about the first three photos below... In September 2020 a gentleman from Dubois handed Mark an envelope and
drove off without explanation. When Mark
opened it, there were photos of Uncle Langley and Auntie Betty’s wedding, which
was held at Prospect. We have no idea how this man came by the photos, but how
wonderful that he didn’t just throw them out, and that he knew the family to
return them to...
