Fort Knox, Wilder, and Covington, KY; More About Ed Ferring

This photo was taken in 1969 and is labelled Printing Master Craftman Awards. In 1969 Wilbert Rosenthal, president of S, Rosenthal & Company, in Cincinnati was named Outstanding Craftsman of 1969 by the International Association of Printing House Craftsmen, Inc. In the photo it looks like Ed is either handing a certificate to someone or receiving it. The other man is Wilbert Rosenthal, based on a photo I found in the newspaper.

What I know so far: Ed was probably born between 1935 and 1940, he grew up in the Covington, KY area. In the late 1950's he went to boot camp at Fort Knox, and was apparently in the Army reserves rather than regular Army. He has a sister who is about 10 years younger. They had family in Versailles, Indiana. He married sometime between late 1950's and early 1960's. He and his family, with his little sister, went to Miami Beach in 1956. Please refer back to previous blog entries for other photos.

Edited 3/6/2024: The name is Edward Ferring, he was born 10 June 1936 and died in 1987. He did not have a little sister, the little girl who went to FL with him and his parents in 1956 is likely a 1st cousin, whose mother's name is probably Imogene. They lived in Versailles, IN.

The second photo here is an 8X10 from a wedding, no names. 

Edited 3/21/2024: I believe the wedding photo is of Carolyn Spears and Robert Schmerge. I believe they married about 1958.
