Pictures From 1947Special Note: The photos I have from Mike Michalski are in perfect condition despite being stored in an attic for over 50 years (in Columbia, SC that means about 150 degrees in the summer to 20 degrees in the winter). He did a great job taking the pictures and using the highest quality processing/developing (Which was handled by his Sister).
