I've established that music was a life-long pursuit for my grandfather, from his youth in New Hampshire to his final days in North Carolina. But someplace in the middle, he and my grandmother spent a number of summers in South Dakota. This picture of the Sioux Falls Municipal Band dates from 1949 or 1950. 

Here's the line-up for the band, by tier: 4) Ed Paul (standing), Gossman, Smith, Hoover, Branch, Susede (?), RIchardson. Ellis, Jackson, Friedhoff, Alger, Pruner, Marker, Niblic (?), Kittleson, Miller, Henegar. 3) Madeck, Littlehang, Barnett, Askew, Little, Anderson, Lorenson (?), Brooks, Krumrai, Ewing. 2) Larson, Pace, Colwell, Hanson, Hoyt, Weber, Richardson, Wagner, Morgan, Griffith, Lias. 1) Palmer, Tyler (my grandfather), Olsen, Foss. Tietjen (Standing at right?) Cor. not in picture. View full size.
