Old Photos in the Possession of Jay Rogers

Shown below is a set of priceless photos that were in the possession of Jay Rogers, who apparently held them dearly, judging by the tone of the writing on the backs of the pictures. The photos are presented below in somewhat random order (for now) and without the usual cropping of pictures presented on this website. Jay's entries on the backs are also presented because they provide almost as much value as the photos themselves.
