Shirley and Ken Ruff provided IDs for the men serving up flatcakes at a Jackson Lions Club Pancake Day: "The photo in Sunday's paper of a pancake dinner is in fact a picture taken at the Jackson Rotary Pancake Day. We can identify the following in the photo, left to right: Melvine Lichtenegger, Charles Sander, Dr. Ruff, unknown, Paul Brunning, Bill La Monte, Carlton Meyer, unknown, Carson Wagner. We think this was taken in the late '40's."
Mary Ann Haynes had more information: "Jackson Lions Club... On left: Melvin Lichtenegger... To the left of Carlton Meyer is Paul Bruening (Bruening Dry Good Store). Behind and between Mr. Meyer and Mr Bruening is William Lamont (RII school superintendent). Think the person all the way on the right of photo is Elmo Martin (Martin Jewelry Store). Cannot identify the other Jacksonians. Not sure about the spelling of the last names..."
