  • Photographer is C.J. Dean; Ackerman, Mississippi. There is purple crayon marked over the picture because Ryland must have drawn on it when a child. His name is written several times on the back. Once it is written in pencil, near the top, in a child's handwriting.
  • A very faded picture of Ryland as a young boy, looking mischevious with a grin on his face.
