"PAST PRESIDENTS," CIRCA 1960s The only information on the back of this photo is "Past Presidents," presumably of the Rolla Area Chamber of Commerce. That's Roy Charles in the No. 7 position, counting from our left. The image is undated, but mid- to late-1960s

ROLLA AMBASSADORS, CIRCA 1960s The Rolla Ambassadors were representatives of the Rolla Area Chamber of Commerce. The patch on their blazers appears to say "76" on a snare drum.

NEW DIRECTORS, ROLLA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE These are the "new directors" of the Rolla Chamber of Commerce. Undated, but mid to late 1960s.

"BOB," CENTRAL PONTIAC-CADILLAC, CIRCA 1960s This is "Bob." Bob was the parts manager at Central Pontiac-Cadillac in Rolla in the1960s. Does anyone know Bob's full name? Interesting note: Bob's pocket protector is from Kent Industries in Detroit, Michigan.

VACCINATIONS, MARCH 1903 Sometimes historical events have interesting parallels to the present day. In this letter dated 16 March 1903, Isabella ("Izzie") Furray of Elk Prairie is writing to her cousin, Ella Tate, in Anutt in Dent County. "I have an awful sore arm from being vaccinated. The smallpox is just raging down here there is several new cases and several quarantined."
