PILLLSBURY CHOIR -- 1959 or 1960?

Here is a photo of the Pillsbury Choir that was directed by Joel Kettenring taken in the old parking lot at 4th Baptist Church in North Minneapolis. This picture was taken by Don Nelson and I found it in a stack of photos that I inherited from him.

It looks like Del Budke is the driver of this Owatonna Public School (from Mason Bus Lines) school bus. How many people you can identify in the picture?

MORE PICTURES

Here are a couple of pictures that we collected over the last month. I keep on begging ya'll to send me pictures. The first one is of Dave and Grace Goodman. They sent me this photo last month, but it has been captive on my sick laptop. This week I had a delightful visit on the phone with Dave, and he resent the picture so that I could share it with everyone.

Then I obtained a great picture of Roger and Jan Creamer -- via Denny and Sherry Whitehead. We saw the picture while we were in Florida and I asked Denny to scan the photo and email it to me. I also contacted Roger to get their permission. It is a great shot!

I'll also add the photo that Connie and I took in our home just before all the Christmas festivities began. Please send me your photos so that we can share them with everyone. Also, send me email addresses of folks that you have contact with who spent time at Pillsbury during the early days. God bless you all!
