I found this item in a box of old postcards. I thought it was definitely a nice graduation notice, especially since it was from 1927 . I have never heard of Kenosha Falls, Kansas, but it sounds like a neat little town ! I would be curious to know what happened to this student, and what he accomplished in life ! Thought it was cool and wanted to share it with everyone. Thanks for looking !

Thats pretty neat Kevin. I appreciate the bio information! Sounds like he lived a pretty normal life and to a nice age. Being a Mason seems to be something that has always been a big deal. That was some amazing detective work on your part. I never did get too far in my search. Thrifty
