This picture had been mounted in a little photo
album of Thomas Stricker. Thomas grew up in Kiron and went to
the Kiron High School and graduated in 1934. He was a member
of the starting five of the boys basketball team that achieved
the most victories of any Kiron team in the Iowa High School
basketball tournaments. He loved airplanes and a number of photos
in his album give evidence of that. He entered the aviation corp
in WWII and became a pilot. He flew several missions against
Hitler's Germany. He never returned from his last mission. Here
are the names: Top L/R: Seldon Buller, Mary Garner, Vincent Buller, Marion Sundell, Chester Ogren, Mavis Mohrhouse, Gene Hoaglund. 2nd L/R: Arnold Lundell, MayDelle Sandstrom, Adelbert Sjogren, Maxine Larson, Allen Ogren, Florence Schultz. 3rd L/R: Russell Sederberg, Winona Grow, Lester Sandstrom, Ferne Buller, Thomas Stricker, Virginia Sandstrom, Roy Sederberg.
