"The Glass Of Fashion And The Mould Of Forar". 3 Photos, 2 large mounted, 1 smaller. 1. Pleasant Street Primary School (No Date) Grade 1. 2. Tennis Party 29.20.05 (No other ref). 3. Chuck photo of young man. Letter dated 30th August 1980. The Secretary, Ballarat Historical Society, Ballarat. Vic. 3350. Dear Sir, The enclosed photographs may be of interest to you. They were some my late husband, Ronald John Kerr, had treasured over the years. Ron was born in Ballarat in 1906 and attended Pleasant Street School so this will probably enable you to place the date of Grade 1 photo fairly accurately. The date of the tennis gathering was in Ron's father's handwriting on the back of the photo - 29.10.05. What stunning hats on tops of those serious faces. The photo of the young man of fashion is delightful. I am not sure of his identity but he must be related to Ron's mother, Eliza Wills Kerr - maybe her brother Arthur Wills. With good wishes, Millie Kerr (Mrs. R.J. Kerr) Will tell Pleasant Street about it is case a copy os wanted.
