The Badger Milk Train
Image
A group of men are standing next to the Badger Milk Train, which was part of the Sauk County Milk for Peace program. As the sign behind them notes, this program got milk "to hungry neighbors overseas". The men in the front row are, from left to right: J.B.F. Hayes, Erich Lenz, Noble Clark, Bob Lewis, and Governor Rennebohm. In the back row, from left to right, are Claire L. Jackson, Warren Clark, Reverend Sorenson, and Father Hausler.
