MAKING CORRECTIONS TO THE BLOG

Jennie Powers Moss Fletcher and her daughter Katherine. 645 Harwood Drive, Des Moines, Iowa - 1934. Photo No. 0002 (click on image to enlarge)

Note from Jerry Fecht
I received an email from Fletcher Gross today that noted an extra "great" in Forrest Johnston's line. Catching these little errors is important, and can be easily edited on this Family Blog.
Please send your pictures and/or comments to me via email or US mail. Digital photos are easily handled via Photoshop. They should be in a jpg format.
Thanks Jerry

The older woman in the center of the top row is Jennie Powers Moss Fletcher who was the director of the orchestra. At her right is Dorr Carlyle Shreves (about 16 years old) who played the violin in the group.) Jennie had a lifetime affection for the boy, who would one day become her son-in-law. The girl seated at the left in the front row is Katherine Carol Fletcher, Jennie's daughter.
