Photograph of Richard Siemsen posing outside Asbury Methodist Church on North Workman Street. Richard Siemsen stands in the foreground at center and looks to the camera. Behind him, Scoutmaster Charles Morgan and Boy Scout Troop no. 76 are loosely gathered by the side of the front steps of the church. A few of the boys hold flags. The front of the church stands behind and to the right of them, facing left. Above the entrance it reads, "ASBURY METHODIST CHURCH." Church attendees stand on the church's front steps, behind the Scouts. A neighboring house (partial view) stands in the background at left. In the lower left corner, a wide streak of white extends up and to the right, obscuring part of the image.
