We are grateful to Ann Avery Hunter of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for sharing with us the photograph of Salling she took at the final reunion of the United Confederate Veterans in 1951 at Norfolk, Virginia. “I was 16 at the time and was there with my mother’s cousin, Daisy Lester Avery, an ardent (United Daughters of the Confederacy) member,” she wrote. Thank you for allowing us to share the photograph with our readers Ann!

The article according to the index should be in the June 1, 1953 issue on page 2. We found the information on Life’s website http://www.life.com/ Life does not allow us to link directly to the article. In the search bar on the top right-hand corner just type John Salling and you will see links to the photographs. I believe the website contains many photographs that were not published in 1953. Thanks for reading!

From the article about John Salling, I find this sentence: “Additionally, Life Magazine ran an article in 1953 featuring Salling and other aged Confederate veterans.” Does anyone know WHICH 1953 issue this was?
