"This is a photo of my uncle, Paul Reed, and members of his congregation, cutting logs for the church - Assembly of God. My uncle is sitting on top of logs in center. In the background, you can see a building that is still standing in Dove Creek. I think that it was the first school in Dove Creek. At the time of this photo - about 1945-46 - it was the Assembly of God Church - while new log church was being built. During the late 1940's and early 50's it was the home of Ernest and Roma Hall. Mr. Hall had a watch repair shop in the front. Later in the early 50's it was the home of the Stull family. Mr. Stull also repaired watches."

"I scanned this from the 1948 yearbook for Dolores County High School - "The Last Frontier". My brother, Thomas Wilson, is in back far right. Maybe other people will find family members here."
