Description
First 21 images document a visit by a group of men to a project site that appears to possibly be a park under construction, on an arid hillside. There appears to be a small reservoir or lake, a snack shack, and one image of the Ladies toilet. The 22nd image is men in a field with large wooden frames on the ground. Image 24-33 show the Kentucky Dam powerhouse, with Ed Levin and two women (one of whom is likely Ruby Levin) posing in front of it, along with another older man. These may be relatives of Ruby Levin. This is followed by two images of floating stages along the river in Paducah, Kentucky. "Riverama 1960" is on one of the buildings; a car from station WPAD is parked in front.
