Dedication
To my niece, SYDNEY A. LEFKOE
and
my nephew, ROY T. LEFKOE
who have shared the joy of this project from its inception.
They appear with their mother, my sister, MILDRED T. LEFKOE in the 1960 photograph, Plate 21.
And to
my niece, NANCY, Roy's wife
and their children
REBECCA and MICHAEL
who appear as a family in the 2000 photographs, plates 21 and 22.

It is my hope they will choose to continue this comparative record.
