Dear Tribal members:
A Tribal member is about to finish a book about Grand Ronde (1855
1955). My mother gave me three pictures her father, Francis; her uncle,
Peter Menard "Uncle Pete"; and her uncle, Lindsay Menard taken
when they were young men.
I lost the picture of Lindsay that I wanted to have included in her book.
If anyone has that picture or another one of him to replace the one I lost,
please contact me at P.O. Box 122368, San Diego, CA 92112.
