Good morning! I grew up in Hesston in the 1970's. I recognize several of these last names... probably the grandparents of friends in which I spent some time with in school. Is there anyway I could get copy of this photo? This would be at my expense of course. I am a big baseball fan and have my home office decorated with old baseball pictures. Please let me know.
