Christina and Bob Jacks. At Beloit College in 1965.

Aunt Christina in front of petroglyphs in Capitol Reef, Utah. Aunt Christina and Uncle Bob both had teaching jobs, so they traveled extensively during the summer months from when they got married in 1936 through the early 1980s. Aunt Christina was a history teacher, so they frequently traveled to historic sites in the western U.S.A.

The next seven photos are all blue- or red-mounted Kodachrome slides. These and all Kodak slides from this era are all undated, and are from the early to mid-1950s. The Kodachrome of the time took wonderful outdoor pictures, and have never faded.
