From Remembering When, 2021.87.22 "The photos of the boy, Cecil Linter are a bit of a puzzle—as we can’t find anything about him, except obviously, he worked for the telephone company. The photo of him with the sign was recently found in the Denison family photo collection, and the photo of him on his delivery bike turned up in the Auction House-Chaps album. Does anyone know anything about Cecil? He appears to be pretty proud of his job."
