Elementary School Thanksgiving Pagent
Found the photo in an old book, and it has the studio marking of Henry E. Nelson, Salisbury, MD on the front and December 1955 on the back - anyone recognize the little Indians or Santa?)
Date & Place: in Salisbury, Wicomico County, Maryland United States

Santa looks like the young chap (forget his name) in Miracle on 34th St who liked to play Santa.

I recall a grammar school pageant where some girls dressed as pilgrims and the rest of us sang a James Whitcomb Riley poem that was set to music: "When the frost is on the pumpkin/ and the fodder's in the shock..." lalala. None of us Waterbury city kids knew what fodder was, or shocks, for that matter, but it had a rousing beat.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
