Dead Timber 1955. A field trip to Dead Timber
State Recreation Area back in 1955. District 36, taught
by Miss Marion Terkildsen, took students (pictured):
Gary Suhr; Rodney Ahrndt; Glen Suhr (myself); and
Ruth Spaulding. The hills surrounding the lake were
challenging to climb. The swinging bridge was a treat
and the shelter was relaxing. Always a fun day.

Rock Creek Station Historical State Park 1985.
This picture was taken not long after the park was
open for camping. Note the lack of trees. After an
afternoon of hiking the park, we took a break on the
logs. Top: Sara Perau and Lori Wolfe. Seated: Brad,
Blaine, and Rose Perau; Mark Wolfe (me); Max, the
dog; Linda and Jim Schmersal. My wife, Marge, took
the picture. Our three families have camped together
for more than 35 years.
