My great grandfather was richmond karst. I never have seen a picture of him . Then I saw this just wish I knew which boys was hom in the play.
ReplyDeleteSeems he was manager of the football team - maybe there is another issue - from 1914 and 1915 - of this publication that might have more info on the football team and, perhaps, a photograph. The library or historical society in Bar Harbor might have some issues.
