Work & School

Work and school are two things I have the distinct impression Eldon took seriously and at which he excelled. His house was filled with General Mills memorabilia, including awards and items given to him when he retired.

Eldon with Sam Cunningham of the New England Patriots.
Back of photo reads:
Jan 1974 NFL Rookies of the Year
Wheaties Sponsored

If you look closely you can see a hand-drawn arrow pointing down
back at the furthest point from the camera. Writing on the back reads:
Eldon with the Sears Scholars
KSU 1938.

...And here's the certificate he was given for his impressive scholarship.
Notice that it's Kansas State College, not University.

I'm assuming this is a group of peers at General Mills.

General Mills again, I'm guessing, though not totally sure.
How embarrassing for the gentleman on the left to have been left
off the memo that light blue was to be worn for this photo.

Again, guessing General Mills.

The back of this photo reads: KSC-1940. Dick Curtis, Val Combs,
Harold Skalla, Jerry Ingraham, Bill Lewis, Perry Emmons, Ed Schoen.
Eldon is front and cetner, sleeves rolled up and arms behind his back.
The sign on the post on the right says ROOMS FOR BOYS.
