Misc. 1930's (b)

And this is?? And exactly what would he be doing? And while we're at it, what's with the two stripes on the bucket?

Looks to me like he is ready to do some work in the "crick." Overturn rocks for bait? Move rocks (hence the wood for prying them up), but then why the bucket? Never saw a striped bucket, but it might have been a particular brand did that. It must have been pleasant work, he has a wide grin.

Hmmm. Maybe the bucket's for keeping the worms in it. I was never an avid fisherman. The fishing itself was okay, but the reel of line always kept getting tangled, and it's hard for a young boy to sit still and keep quiet for hours.

I had to laugh about the "crick". I remember now that the stream at the end of the street in Lenhartsville was indeed called "The Maiden Crick" when we lived there. I kept my Pennsylvania Dutch accent through college; well at least traces of it anyway. I think it's completely gone now.
