As I worked through the photos of Dave and Betty Donaldson, I stumbled on some pictures sent from Dad. Dad, Milo Paul Ross, attended the 1957 Boy Scout Jamboree in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. I thought I would share those photos along with some other items I have scanned related to that trip. Since there were a couple of photos from the 1958 High Adventure Trip, I thought I would include those too.
First, be aware that the Great Salt Lake and Lake Bonneville Councils published a book about their trip. “Onward for God and My Country” was the motto. I have scanned the entire book – it is provided below.
The book says the trip occurred in July 1957. The book provides plenty of photos of the highlights. These few photos show what Dad thought was interesting enough to take pictures.
The trip took them east through a variety of states. Included was Chicago, Detroit, and Palmyra. Stops included the Sacred Grove and Smith Farm. Albany, Springfield, Boston, and New York City.
Dad does not recall the names or even knowing anyone in the photos at Jamboree.
I remember Dad talking about the Statue of Liberty. They climbed the stairs to the crown. He also indicated that at that time they let some of them climb to the torch. It was a very memorable experience. He also mentioned the Empire State Building and Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Vice President Nixon addressed the Scouts.
Kammeyer’s supported the Jamboree.
For those LDS Scouts, Harold B Lee and Delbert L Stapley spoke to the boys on Sunday. Here is a letter Dad wrote home while there.
I previously wrote about Dad and scouting. Here is his Eagle Scout picture.
Milo Paul Ross achieved Eagle Scout
Here is a note Grandpa made about this picture.

Milo James Ross commented about Milo Paul Ross receiving his Duty to God award on 27 April 1959
Duty to God Award
Letter from Church Headquarters
Here are a couple of the photos from the Colorado River rafting trip. Dad thinks there are more photos. He does not remember or recognize any of the individuals in the photos.
Dad remembered they had to pull out of the river to go around the Glen Canyon Dam construction.

This my Grandpa Milo Ross’ 9th Grade class. I believe this was at Weber High School, but I cannot confirm what grade year switched between Plain City School and Weber High School in Ogden. Several of these boys died in World War II.
I was trying to find some photos and stumbled upon my Mom’s graduation pamphlet I had scanned a few years ago. Thought maybe it was time to share it, especially where I have seen some of her classmates have passed away recently.

Standard Examiner article about Plain City plane crash
I previously wrote an article about the piece of airplane scrap Grandpa kept in his front yard. I referenced this newspaper article and that I would type it up and make it available. Here it is. Before, here is a picture of that piece of scrap Grandpa Ross picked up in Mike Pananzio’s garden.

Cargo Plane Loses Wing Over Plain City; 2 Die In Crash
Ogden Utah, Saturday October 15, 1960
Smoke Billow From Ship In Mid-Air, Witnesses Say
EXport 4-7711 80th Year No. 269 5 Cents
Plain City – At least two airmen were killed at 11a.m. today when a Capitol Airlines C46 twin-engined plane leased to the Air Force lost a wing and spun into a cornfield.
Eyewitnesses said the plane caught fire in mid-air and fell to earth in a field of Paul Knight at 1975 N 4000 W.
Debris was scattered for more than a mile and a gaping hole in the open field underscored the violence of the impact.
Identities of the dead were not known immediately. Parts of the two bodies were strewn over the area.
An Air Force spokesman said it was believed only the unidentified pilot and co-pilot were aboard.
No one in this community of about 900 people was injured but authorities evacuated residents living in nearby houses.
The Air Forces said the plane was owned by Capitol Airways of Berry Field, Nashville, Tenn. It was contracted by the Air Force to haul freight and was inbound to hill Air force Base about 10 miles southeast of the crash site.
The plane presumably was swinging into the fight pattern to approach the landing strips.
Plain City residents said it was traveling almost directly toward Ben Lomond peak when it came to grief.
Estimates of its altitude varied, but one source said it looked to be about 1,00 feet up.
Louis E Pierce of Brigham City was one eye witness. He said saw the plane in the air and heard and engine sputter, then saw a black smoke cloud and saw one wing fall off.
Whether it broke loose before the plane nosed to earth or was blown that distance by the explosion could not be learned.
Hill Air Force Base officials were airlifted to the scene by helicopter.
Also called to the scene were the Weber County fire department and officers of the Weber County sheriff.
Moss ambulance Service was called, but the attendant said, “There was nothing to pick up. We saw parts of one body all over a field. Hill AFB officials would not release any information on the crash. They and officials of the Federal Aviation Agency were at the scene within the first hour and ordered the area roped off.

I found this article online from the Standard Examiner on the 17th, two days after the above article.

TRIO PROBING FOR REASON IN AIR CRASH.
A three-man investigating panel from the Federal Aviation Agency is probing today for the cause of a spectacular plane crash Saturday in Plain City which killed two civilians when the plane plummeted into a corn field minus a wing. The crew from the FAA offices in San Francisco is headed by JACK BROWN and is headquartered at Hill Air Force Base. Meanwhile, the scene of the crash, a corn field owned by PAUL KNIGHT of 1874 N. 400 W., is being guarded by members of the Weber County Jeep Patrol. The wind that fell, carrying with it one of the plane’s two engines, completely blocked a road from the Plain City cemetery and created a serious fire hazard because of spilled fuel from the wing tanks. The wing was removed from the highway by jeep patrol members. FAA investigators are searching through a sea of charred and burned debris, scattered over a wide area extending in all directions from the 20 to 30-foot crater made when the plane hit the ground. Enroute To Hill. The plane, a C46, was enroute to Hill Air Force Base from Rapid City, S.D., carrying about 10,000 pounds of Air Force cargo and was under contract to the Air Force by Capitol Airways of Berry Field, Nashville, Tenn. Killed instantly were the pilot and co-pilot, identified at REED A. BURT, 42, Salt Lake City, and Oliver N. CHADWELL, JR., Edmonton, Okla. The crash and the movement of the plane moments before the crash took place place in full view of several eye witnesses. The height of the plane and its apparent trouble drew the attention of several who said they saw the wing drop off and then saw the plane plunge to the ground, bursting into flames. The intense heat of the fire made it impossible for anyone to attempt rescuing crew members and their bodies were so badly broken it was impossible for officials at the scene to determine the size of the crew.

Reed Allen Burt was born 30 September 1917 in Salt Lake City. He married Jewell Alma Butler (1920-2018) 16 February 1944 in Midland, Texas. His wife and three children survived him.
Oliver Henry Chadwell Jr was born in May 1929 in Oklahoma. I cannot see that he was married.

The first time I stumbled upon this picture it has captured my attention for some reason.
The sunshine and the general happiness and contentment of the children? How beautiful the children are?
The apparently well-manicured law in post-war California? Taken at the Cattell home on Estacia Court in Cucamonga, California.
“BUEHLER TANK” is written on the building behind? I did some research and found this link to a home I believe not far from this location: “Significant to the community, this 1913 turn of the century residence is part of a group of dwellings built on smaller city lots near the Cucamonga town center. Because of its proximity to the Cucamonga town center, merchants and business owners made these homes their temporary dwellings. In 1920, Walter A. Buehler purchased the home and lived there with his wife Lillian and their two sons and two daughters until 1944. He established Buehler Tank Works, which was a major local industry and employer of the community during World War II.” Walther Albert Ludwig Buehler (1890-1970).
Frank Corsaro confirmed the building. Apparently on the east of Archibald, just north of Foothill Drive. The lot to the south, on the right, was the storage for their large concrete pipes.
Clifford and Frank would borrow the mule from the storage yard for their ‘paper drives.’ Clifford and Frank were best friends.
I am not sure of the occasion or why all the children are pointing to the head of the boy sitting in front. Frank says it was Kenny Cattell’s birthday.
Two of them are cousins of mine. Franklin George Corsaro on the back right and Josephine Ina Corsaro standing front left. They were born in 1936 and 1943, both are still alive. Their mother is the half-sister to my Grandfather Milo James Ross (1921-2014).
Also in the photo are Virginia Marie Valli (1943-?), Clifford Edward Cattell (1937-?), Robert Glenn Hill (1945-2012), and Kenneth Lee Cattell (1943-?)

Here is another class picture of my Aunt Jackie. As the sign tells, this picture is from Southwest School in Burley, Cassia, Idaho taken in April 1970. The names were written on a piece of paper inside. If they are incorrect, please let me know. I would be happy to update the information. First, a copy of letter from Ms. Rue.

This class photo is one of several in my Aunt’s photos that she gave to me so I could scan them. Since there is not really a great way to keep all the names on the photo with it, I thought this would be the best way. This picture was taken at the old Miller School located in Burley, Cassia, Idaho. I believe this photo was taken in March 1972. Jackie has written on it that she was age 11, and the broader photo has St. Patrick’s Day items on the walls. If anyone has more information about people in the picture, please let me know.
