Photos 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.
Deer hunting near Wilber, 1992
This is a photo of my friends John Janecek in
the center, Gary Richtarik on the right and me.
John harvested this buck near his farm in Gage
County northeast of Wilber in 1992. We grew up
together and hunted and fished for many years
in Gage and Saline counties.
I still hunt the same areas and keep in touch
with John. Gary unfortunately passed in 2020
and is sorely missed.

Catfishing on the North Loup River
Pictured from left: Leonard Kaslon, my dad; Keith Kaslon, me; Brian Kaslon, my third cousin; Bob Kaslon, my uncle. This
was the morning after an overnight camping and set-line trip to the North Loup River around 1987.
