Pioneer Day from Years Gone By

 Shortly after we moved to Denver from Salt Lake City in 1965 my dad was made the Bishop.  I don't know if they had Pioneer Day Celebrations in the Denver 13th ward before that, but we sure did in 1968 when these pictures were taken. My mom made her beautiful pioneer dress for the occasion, pictured above.  It was bequeathed to me to use in Seminary Videos (IT IS ABOUT A SIZE 0!!!) I think she or my dad even sprang for the wig to help things look more authentic. Who had the idea of me and Barb being Indians?  I bet my dad wanted to think outside the box and thought of making a teepee on a wagon.  I am not sure of all the activities that went on that day, but I am really thrilled to have these pictures to capture the moment.
