They could be your family secret recipes or those that are easy for kids to make, or are seasonal - please start with some great summer drinks that help viewers cool off this month. We'll even take your flub baking stories (if you care to admit one).

Although this photo has its roots a bit north of Ada, it may have some Ada connections.

There's several things we know about this photo - and several unknowns. The photo was taken as a black and white snapshot in February 1958 in front of the Orange Township garage. It's a group of fox hunters with three foxes.

What we lack is an identification of the hunters. We've enlarged the photo as much as possible without losing a viewable image.

We invite Icon viewers to take a stab at naming these men.
