  Dave Nopel will use the several photo albums and scrapbooks of Anna Marks to illustrate his presentation about life in Chico and the surrounding area from 1905 to about 1960. Anna moved to Chico with her family as a teenager, and would spend the rest of her life here, and from about 1905, she would begin to take snapshot photographs of her doings and events in Butte County. Dave Nopel has used the Anna Marks photographs in earlier presentations and projects, and he will again use a wide-sweeping array of Anna pictures to look back through time at an absorbing and illustrative collection of pictures.
