Mel Venter
Postcard promoting the "Gladioli Show" July 28-29 in Grants Pass, Oregon. Title is "Cavemen cavort with Mel Venter Gang".
Post card is addressed to Mrs. H.C. Venter, Mel's mother (Katherine Donnally Venter), who was living in Sacramento, Ca at the time it was mailed. Mel was a well-known radio personality for KFRC, and also a member of the KTVU Channel 2 staff.
The Cavemen are a Grants Pass, Oregon, organization that was formed in 1922 to boost awareness of Grants Pass and its famous caves.
Mel was born to Charles H. and Katherine Donnally Venter in Sacramento, Ca. Mel died November 24, 1983, in Santa Cruz Co., CA.
Please do not contact me regarding the Venter surname as I found this post card in an antique shop in Santa Cruz, CA and this is NOT one of my family names; just wanted to share!
