This is a very SPECIAL Xmas picture.  It is from the Clear Lake newspaper from 1946.  Mom had Danny and I at the Ben Franklin Dimestore and the article is of Santa and the toys for the Christmas season. I am in my stroller ( maybe 9 months old) and Danny and the Huntley boys are standing around the stroller. a Harold Jorgenrud is behind the counter.
