Re: Date of school bus
Ok so this has opened up a lot of questions. Jay links to a thread from ten years ago, my niece finds the same photo in an early Idaho local newspaper. Did the Aberdeen newspaper poach the photo, or had it been copied on to the web which is where Jay found it? Where was the photo actually taken?

Thanks for the replies. My niece in Aberdeen, Idaho is working through a pile of old local newspapers to rescue them before they fall apart, and is also doing a local history. I assume this is something that needs to be dated to help date related info.
