Mr America 1945

My paternal grandparents owned a lodge/resort in Nevada in the 1940's. In the collection of photographs I found these pictures of Clarence Ross, who was Mr American in 1945. I think that he lived at my grandparents place while he was living in Nevada. Unfortunately my paternal grandparents are no longer with us.
