Many we have not seen for over 50 years
Here are some of the best:
They are scanned at 1200 DPI and cleaned up (mostly) and enhanced with Photoshop

Christmas Schwann Bikes, Madison, 1950
Dad had a deal with Mr. Schwinn himself where he got a special price on bikes. This was the year I got my first two wheel bike, the red one, when I was 10. These were single speed bikes, but they had the fancy new hand brakes not the coaster type on the rear wheel.
Karl, Madison, 1950
Pretty cute on his trike.
This slide is out of focus and totally filthy.
It's so bad that I don't know if I could clean it up in two hours.

The “von Hasler Famiy Singers” in front the grand piano at 205 Lathrop Street.
Back row: Galen (9), Bruce (11), Karl (7), Hanna, Fritz (13), Arthur with French Horn.
At the piano: Sylvia (17), and Mark (9).
From Sylvia’s bio: “I remember the morning after Daddy had taken Mother to hear the von Trapp family singers (of Sound of Music fame). Mother was ecstatic. I can still see her joyfully telling me in the kitchen the next morning about her delightful evening at the concert. Here was a musical family singing the songs of her heritage. Rehearsals began at once. We sang and performed together a great deal as a family. We endeavored to "out-Trapp" the von Trapps for years. We all sang parts, and I accompanied the German Christmas carols on the piano……. Daddy played French horn in the Madison Civic Orchestra and University Opera Productions for twenty-five years. We attended his concerts and the annual Messiah productions”

Prusse Women, Provo, March 1954.

From left: Sylvia (Hanna’s daughter) Marilyn (Ralph’s wife), Ruth, Carol (Walter’s wife) Judy (Alfred’s Daughter), Hanna, Eveline, Zona (Alfred’s wife), Irmgard, Dorothy, and Granny.
Hanna and Art knew there would be no August trip to Utah this year as they would be leaving in the Fall to go to Germany for Arthur’s one-year sabbatical to Munich. That meant a Spring (Easter) trip to Utah that brought many members of the Prusse clan together.

Help me out: I recognize the older kids, but I am guessing at the younger ones by their apparent ages and the mothers that are present in the picture above.

Haslers: Bruce, Fritz, Hanna, Sylvia, Arthur, Karl, SLC, 1958
Art arriving by air?
Most flights those days were bumpy and slow on propeller driven DC-3s
I'm guessing SLC because of the mountains and Sylvia living there.
I'm guessing 1958 because of my (Fritz's) flat top. That would make Karl 11 years old.
I don't know what happened to Mark & Galen, maybe taking the picture.

A much better version of the classic photo above taken in the shade
One of the very best photos we have of mom in middle age.
It only took 30 min with Photoshop to lighten it and clean it up.
I took a couple of nasty mosquito bites off Laurel's face in the process.

I had this as 1958, but Laurel is more than three months old..... Sylvia????

Figure 40: Christmas Stollen, Madison, 1960
A batch of mom's Christmas Stollen 1960. In the bay window of the dining room at 205 Lathrop Street, Madison.
“At Christmas she would bake fifty loaves of German Stollen (fruited yeast bread), ice them, and Daddy would deliver them to friends and neighbors”Hanna, the baker’s daughter, thrilled family and guests alike with her food, but especially homemade bread, dinner rolls, and German specialties including Zwetschgenkuchen, and Christmas Stollen as well as a holiday cranberry pudding that was to die for."
Advent Calendars, Madison, 1960
In the window sill next to the Christmas stollen we would often place our Advent Calendars. Starting on December 1, we would open a door every day. There was a special surprise behind the 24th door

Hanna, Madison, 1968
You can see the years that have passed in her face, but the inner and outer beauty is still there.
Probably also not long before she died in 1969 of stomach cancer
