- Description
- Photograph of eleven children preparing to ice skate, circa 1943-1945. They are gathered at the wooden steps that led from Ken and Margaret Meyers’ River Road backyard to the Des Plaines River. The Meyers kept an eye on the skaters from the picture window of their home and sometimes served hot chocolate and cookies to those skating on the frozen river behind their home. Some Des Plaines children even had birthday skating parties on the ice behind the Meyers’ home.
