Missouri River Ferry Blair, Nebraska
The 1928 Chrysler is loaded onto the ferry, ready for its trip
across the Missouri river to Blair. Note the blocks in front of and
behinds the back wheel. Also note the young boy riding in the front
passenger seat. That is Jerome "Bud" Jenny, who would never have
dreamed then that he would someday, as Blair's mayor, cut the ribbon
that would open the new Missouri River Bridge to traffic. The ferry
operator is standing on the left, next to Bud's grandfather, John
Rudolph (J.R.) Jenny. Seating the car is Bud's father, Andrew
Jenny and then Bud's head can be seen in the passenger seat of the
car.
