These photos were taken in Omaha, Nebraska. I have no information on these images except the captions that are on the back of the 8x10 prints. The images are displayed with the captions as they are written on the back of the prints. Any additional comments that I may ad will appear in emphasized text. I have split this series of images onto 3 pages.
