Description

Image is of two children, identified as Arleta Goodrich and Davy Harrison, standing in a Palmer gravel street eating ice cream cones. Part of a building, automobiles and mountains are visible behind. Photo was taken by a visiting soldier who failed to get names of the children. Later, wanting to give the photo to their family, he enclosed it in a large envelope with a letter, taped a copy of the photo on the outside to serve as the addressee "in care of Community Center Post Office, Matanuska Valley, Alaska". It was delivered with no problem.
