We thought this photo was from the days when child laborers were sent to airports with printed signs to pick up arriving dignitaries, but it turns out that was never a thing that happened. This photo is actually from June 21, 1938, during Concord’s Sesquicentennial celebration of New Hampshire and the Federal Constitution. That’s Gov. Francis Murphy at the right planting a tree at the Walker school as part of the opening ceremony, and that’s a very rigid officer of the law directly in the tree’s shadow. Thanks to reader Earl Burroughs for the pic.
