Out of Business?


We went by Dave's mom's house last night and we were looking through some old
photos with her. We came across this newspaper article that made the front page on
August 24, 1977 in Baker, Oregon

The title read "Out of Business?"
The caption read
"Earlier this week, Dean Bowman (holding the glass) and David Bennion (Dave's name before he became Dave Knowles when his mom remarried and he had his name changed), both seven, opened what they hoped would be a prosperous business on Colorado Street selling cookies and Kool-aid as relief from the warm weather. Today's rain has probably put the pair out of business, temporarily."

Isn't that the cutest thing ever? I thought so :)

That is cute! Only in Baker would some kid's kool aid stand make the front page news.

Wow - that is precious! And he looks so much like your kids!
You should frame that and hang it up!
