Some songs from 1948

While these tributes I create to honor the individual who passed away is the main goal, and the pictures and information are generally about the person/family, so often the collections from those families I scan have lots of pictures of non-family Manningites and this Valentine collection is no exception.
Roland sent me an amazing pictorial history of Manning and its citizens to scan in 2020-21, so please note the various other folks who are featured in this tribute who will give you an idea of how many other people/families interacted with the Valentine family and who were part of Manning's amazing history.

I want to thank Roland & the Valentine family for taking the time to share with me and now you, their wonderful collection of Manning history to scan.
I hope this will encourage more families to work with me on their history to add to the Manning Historical Database.
Thanks,
Dave
