Comments re photo 84526 Hunter Durham on the job in Yellowstone
Ann, I should have noted that this picture is of a framed picture that was made when he was 17. Don't know the original photographer but it is a classic keepsake. Walking around Hunter's office finds discoveries and keepsakes of all kinds. Thanks for your note, LW
