You win, Ed. Yes, it is Arthur Kovalovsky and his two sons. The film was taken in February of 1957, which would have made Arthur just shy of 76 years old. Not bad, to still be hiking in the hills and hunting with his two sons at that age. I found the original 8mm film while I was helping clean out Elizabeth Kovalovsky's house after she passed away, then had it digitized.
