Throughout his long life in Park City, Utah, J.E. Jenkins (Pop Jenks) photographed thousands of everyday events and people from 1913 through to the 1960s. He even took the annual class photos at the elementary school and graduation photos at the high school. Thanks to the generosity of Pop Jenks' family, more than 600 negatives and prints were donated to the Park City Museum in 1987. Today a number of these photos, along with stories, remembrances, and history of Pop Jenks, told to writer David Hampshire by Thelma, Pops' 95-year-old daughter, are brought back to life in "Park City's Pop."
