Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Left to right: Grace, Betty, Keith, and Merrill O. Brininstool. Betty and Merrill are holding their children in their arms. Behind the family, many framed pictures hang on the wall, and on a wooden bookcase with books--a pot made by American Indians, a small figure, a statue of a buffalo. Grace wears a shapeless dotted dress. Betty wears a dotted dress with striped collar and round glasses. Keith wears short pants and a shirt. Merrill wears a striped button-down shirt, tie, and belted slacks.
