From the June 12, 2016 Shorpy.
MEMORIAL DAY: 1943. May 31, 1943. "Gallipolis, Ohio. Young horn player at the Decoration Day ceremonies." Arthur Siegel, OWI.
Comment: Probably in high school band. Plays a Sousaphone. Still calling it Decoration Day then.
From the June 3, 2016, Shorpy Photo site.
DRY RUN: 1943. March 1943. "Crossing the almost dry bed of the Canadian River along the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad in Texas." Jack Delano, OWI. That Jack sure took a lot of train pictures for OWI. he must have been its main train man.
Comment: Actually the bridge in the photo was a highway bridge by today's US-60 and US-83. Jack must have taken the photo from the train window.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
