Photos from Youngstown's Boardman High School. Looks like he played football for multiple years. Interestingly, his senior photo lists his middle name as Joseph, not anything starting with 'A'.

No idea why the school photo has Joseph as the middle name. His middle name was Adran according to multiple family trees on Ancestry. Who knows?

It doesn’t sound like it’s possible for John and his friend, Ken, to have gone out hunting, then return home in 1hour.
