This photo is in our Olympics, 1980 archive folder. We were able to identify most of the people in the photo, but we are still missing two names.

Here is who we have so far:

Top row
Don Beaney, Chip Ormsby, Lynn Wilson, Tony Kilburn, Bern Farley, Tom Borden, Leonard Gadway

Bottom row
Bob Allen, Billy Kilburn, Luther Salls, Donald Jacques, Ray Tobin, Oren Preston

We don’t know the two sitting in the middle of the couch, and we’re also not sure of the context of the photo. It’s location in the Olympics 1980 file gives us an idea, but we don’t know any specifics.

Please reach out if you know the identity of the two people in the center of the photo, or if you have any info about the picture in general.

UPDATE

We have a name for both of our two mystery men, and this group was the Town of North Elba Park District Arena Crew. This was the retirement party for Donald Jacques circa 1973-74 at The Chalet.

This is a photo from the Fire Department folder in our archives. It isn’t dated, though we think it’s from sometime around the late nineteen fifties or early sixties. We have most of the names of the people in the photo, all except the second man from the right, kneeling in the first row. The names we have are listed below. Do you know the name of the man in the front row, or the year this was taken?

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who helped name these firefighters! Their names will be updated in our archive.

This is a 3 1/2 by 5 inch photo from the Heaven Hill Farm folder in our archive. It is unlabeled, so we do not know who the people in the photo are or the precise date it was taken.

These classic cars are parked in front of the Esso Service Center in September 1950. They made the news back then with the headline “Glidden Tour of Ancient Automobiles will Leave Mon. on 463-Mile Trip” LAKE PLACID NEWS, September 8, 1950. From our archives.
