Photo #34 is beginning of the sod house construction. The man in the center with a spade facing the camera is Slim Vermas. The thin older gentleman on the other side of the foundation, coveralls, hat and hands on hips is either Oscar Arp or Albert Scoville. I think it is Oscar because of the familiar pose, I can almost hear him cussing.

I’m pretty positive that the man standing in picture #34 is Mr. Vermas.
