Fort Knox, Wilder, and Covington KY Album: Miami Beach Trip Nov 1956

These photos come from an album I bought on eBay several years ago. The album is not in good shape, it was probably not intended to be used as a photo album, the paper is non archival, thin white paper. The photos are taped in place with scotch tape. So far I only found one photo with writing on the back. I am calling this the Fort Knox album as several of the photos are of a soldier who went through basic at Fort Knox. The only other identifying place names I can find is a Wilder Volunteer Fire Department, and a soldier who lived at 2237 Madison Ave, Covington, KY.  Wilder is in Kentucky.

Refer to this post, Soldiers, from 2013 for a photo of 3 soldiers, whose last names are Ferring, Harrison, and Kovach.

Here are a few of many photos taken on a vacation to Miami Beach in November 1956, although a few are labeled November 1957. It looks like 
they either rented a furnished cottage or visited family or friends.

Update 3/2/2023: While looking in newspapers dot com for the name Carolyn Spears I found a photo of Carolyn with a group of auto drivers' club members, one of whom was an Edward Ferring, and that is definitely the tall man with glasses in these photos.
