COMPLETED: Help Identifying "L"
« on: Monday 16 June 14 19:56 BST (UK) »
Found this photo in an old family album, but can't identify the young men.  Hoping someone may recognize the "L" on the sweater?  Likely from Philadelphia area. 

Many thanks!

Looks a bit like a University or College - there is a La Salle University near Philadelphia, and a Lutheran Technical College.

Thank you both.  The wrestling team photo looks to be about the same time period as well.  Could be Lehigh University, or nearby Lafayette College.  That will give me something to search.  Thanks again!
