Well guess what? It looks like Felix is wearing the same hat that uncle Herbert is wearing in the tractor picture. I love seeing these pictures, I cant believe ther are so many pictures that I have never seen before. Where did they all come from?
Margie told her family that Bud was in the CCC at Marshall Missouri and Louisiana Missouri. Felix was in Mexico. Vernon said Bud was also in California. It would be fun to know what they were doing. Like did they plant trees in the Missouri forest, or build some of these stone buildings like we have in Jefferson City at the park board offic on Missouri Blvd.I wonder what they did in California Missouri. I know Bud was a baker or cook not sure which. I know that Felix worked for the AP Green brick factory in Mexico Missouri, when he wasn’t going to school.
If someday you are interested in reading about our Sommerer family history in Cole County, go to google and key in the name Simon Kerl . Lots of things will come up. Select National Register of Historic Places Registration. It is 33 pages long but it dont take long to go through it. If I thought I had enough ink to cover that many pages , I would try to copy it.

Lloyd thinks it is from when he was on service. Look at walls. They don’t look like wood.
