The pictures were annotated Engstrom's Landing, Rice Lake, Minnesota, October 2, 1934. A week and five days before they married and headed west. The dog is a Water Spaniel. Family always said Irish but many seeing pictures say they look American. Grandpa's Parker went to my Uncle Howard and last I knew his grandson had it.

Looks like a sneak boat Charlie and it looks like that pic was taken at a duck club. There were a LOT of duck clubs back in those days. Most are just memories now.

I know a Rice Lake in MN, but my guess is there are several.
