a boy and his horse

Larry Holstad

Preparing for a class reunion meant we spent some time looking over old pictures.  One day Lonna laid a photo in front of me and said, "Who is this?"  The bigger question was probably "Why do you have this in your collection?" because it turns out to be, as I guessed, Larry Holstad.

We sent the original photo to Larry and he has confirmed that he is the rider, on a picture taken at his grandfather's farm just south of Austin, MN.  We don't know for sure what year the photo was taken but do know that on at least one occasion he rode his horse to Lake Mills for the heck of it, and perhaps the picture was transferred to Lonna on one of those occasions.

Nobody really knows for sure but all the conjecture is fun.
