Message from Barbara: David Peterson is my grandfather and apparently this picture is of his mother's and father's house called Lovlund. The people in front of the house are no doubt his family but I have no idea who they are except I am guessing that the 2 older people sitting down are his mother and father. It would be wonderful to be able to put some of these names to the faces in this photo! If you have any information, please click here to contact me. Thank you - Barbara (nee Peterson).
