Peterson
Photographs from war-torn Europe.
Bert Peterson, a close friend with both Minnie and Frank. I thought that he may have been one of Minnie's boyfriends, but the letters he wrote and comments he wrote on the back of some of the photos seems to disprove that.
Peterson sent numerous photos from Europe during World War II. He is also the person that brought back the German bayonet, and the German money.
