The photo is a panorama and shows 100 (or so) folks in it with the names listed alphabetically. Charles Maro was not listed in the Minneapolis city directory in 1934-1937, and his wife Nell (Petronella) is shown as a Canadian born. They appear in the city directory of 1939 married to each other. I suspect Charles was familiar with the "land of the lakes" around Shell-Island-Tamarac, and he might have been in the CCC (I looked in the photo but there were so many faces it defeated me). He may have even been a cook.<br /><br />http://reflections.mndigital.org/cdm/ref/collection/irrc/id/2484Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-40880390262053550262013-09-09T10:26:30.154-05:002013-09-09T10:26:30.154-05:00Looking at photo 1334, the woman in this photo (13...Looking at photo 1334, the woman in this photo (1336) looks like Nell.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-21581732655206364522013-09-09T10:17:30.434-05:002013-09-09T10:17:30.434-05:00Miss M is a beautiful woman - I think her "fr...Miss M is a beautiful woman - I think her "free spirit" and "good humor" make her all the more engaging.<br /><br />...and frustrating in that I can't determine who she was!<br /><br />Shell Lake, Tamarac, and Island Lake are all neighboring "ponds".
