should show people enjoying Nebraska outdoor activities, such as camping, boating, hunting or fishing, and must have been taken before 2000. We will give
priority to unusual photos or activities. When possible, please include a story about the photograph and identify the people, places and approximate date it was
taken. Text may be edited and photos adjusted for reproduction. All photos will be returned.
This was taken after the rifle season deer hunt in November of 1988. The four of us graduated from Scotus Central Catholic
High School in Columbus in 1983. We hunted from tree stands along river property near Genoa. Pictured left to right are Dan
Korger (Columbus), Chris Pokorny (Omaha), Dave Koziol (Lincoln) and me, Jim Heimann (Albuquerque, New Mexico).

This is a picture of my dad, Robert
Duncan, taken in the spring of 1970. The
walleye weighed 9 pounds, 8 ounces,
and was caught at Harry L. Strunk Lake.
He was as proud as could be to receive a
Field and Stream Master Angler Award
later that year.
The picture was taken in front of a
mural that was on the wall of the café he
owned in Lebanon, Nebraska. Later that
year, he, my mother and sister Peggy
moved back to Memphis, Tennessee,
where our families lived.
