[People at the Branch Davidian Annual Reunion, 2]

Photograph of people at the Branch Davidian Annual Reunion, outside of Waco, Texas. A dirt road fills the bottom third of the photo, running alongside a patchy expanse of grass occupied by tables and parked vehicles. A man stands at the left edge of the photo on the dirt road, one child held on his left hip while a second child stands to the left while holding a stack of papers. The man and the children are all dressed in light-colored tops, shorts, and sneakers. Slightly farther into the photo, on the patchy grass, is a table with two men seated behind it on either side of a half-mast American flag. The table has multiple items such as papers and cups placed upon it. A third man stands in front of the table, facing the two other men, while two women stand off to his right and look way from the table. To the group's right is a second table, though this one shaded by a tarp, with a man seated behind it looking towards the camera. Behind the tables is a row of vehicles parked alongside one another, beyond which is a grassy field containing a distant dirt path …

[Children in a School Play]

Photograph of a school play in Waco, Texas. Several children stand in costume on a stage decorated with three cardboard cutouts of buildings. At left, near a hut of some sort, is a girl in a plaid dress, another in a black dress and bonnet, a child held by another girl in a white hat, and another girl holding a toddler in her arms, followed by a boy looking out of a window in the hut. All near the hut watch the proceedings with shock and interest. At center is a judge with a wig and gavel, his hand on a low wooden desk. Behind the judge is "J. Mason Barber", with a boy covered in shaving foam looking at a barber, dressed in a plain white shirt. At far right is "Donaldson Grocer", with a police man with a painted mustache holding a baton, a witch with a pointed hat sitting on a barrel, and a grocer boy in an apron looking to the left. The autographs of the actors are written on the back.
