The motor scooter is a 1955 Cushman Eagle. The scooter belonged to Don Cain (OHS '56), who ended up proposing and marrying Karen Haverty (OHS '57), the beautiful young lady who is riding on the motor scooter. The photo was taken in the driveway of the Cain home at 836 West 5th, Ottawa, according to Karen.
From the information we have been able to receive from the rider of the motor scooter, Karen Haverty, the photo was probably taken in the spring of 1956 when Karen was 16 years old.
The young lady in the photo with Karen is Don Cain's younger sister, Sharon. Don Cain also had a younger brother, Darold, who was in the OHS Class of 1957 with Karen Haverty, who became his sister-in-law.
