"Was taken out on the farm, think it was Granpa's farm, but where Aunty Lydia (nee Hoffer) and John Geist lived.... The little girl in the forefront is my sister Konnie Lynn Geist, the old man in the lawn chair is granpa's brother Jake Hoffer, the man to Uncle Jake's right is John Geist, and man opposite Granpa at the picnic table is my dad Fred C. Geist, the man at the end of the picnic table is familiar but I can't see his face clearly enough.... is possible it is John Mertz a neighbor and a good friend of John and Lydia."
