Pheasant and rabbit hunting near Albion, 1969
Shown are my nephew Rick Johnson and my dad Clarence Johnson of Fremont, my cousin Kurt Kinney of Albion and my uncle
John Henry Johnson of Neligh after a pheasant and rabbit hunt at Kinney Farm near Albion on Thanksgiving Day 1969. John
Henry would always wear his army leggings from WWII when hunting. Hunting in the Albion area was very good in the 1960s,
and my dad and I spent many weekends there during pheasant seasons.

Carp fishing near Wahoo, 1969
Summer of 1969, we got these carp
in Silver Creek east of Wahoo.
Had them smoked, and my mom,
Edith, took the picture.
