Like many young men, my father, Frank Claycomb, loved cars. I just found some old negatives of him and his friends posing with cars. Dad is on the left in the first three photos – not sure he owned that car. All the men look like they could be in Dillinger’s gang. These would have been taken 1933-35.

That’s the title on the back of this photo: Walter’s Chums. Later someone added: Audrey Danner, Vern McKenzie, Walter Ely, Donald Wallingford, and Henry Peck. I don’t recognize the handwriting. It’s probably DeKalb, Illinois (or Wayne, Nebraska). Any help will be appreciated.
