I'm working on the photo shown below, and the flag next to the child is pretty damaged - part of the insignia is missing, and I cannot identify what the flag is! (Probably a school?) Anyway I'm hoping someone can help indentify this flag and help me find an image of it, so I know what to reconstruct :up:
From the metadata, the owner of this image is in Winona, MN and the child's shirt seems to indicate St Martin's, potentially a Lutheran school in that area... unfortunately I haven't found any photographs from there.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

Mike, let me see if either Christine or Jeremiah in Winona might know.

Thanks, Margie; I'll keep working meanwhile and hope that we can find a clue!

Mike,
I found a website and address for the school... but there's not much on their website at all.
I work in Winona, so I'll print out your photo and take it over there to see if they might be able to help out.

That's great, Jeremiah! I also found their website, it was very sparse and no photos... it would be good to confirm whether this picture is truly from their school at all :) as I am just guessing.
I'll keep my ears and eyes peeled, thanks again!

Oh! I think I just figured it out:

Minnestoa State Flag, duh! Of course; I guess it has been too long since I went to school :) :)
Ahh... you beat me to it.
That's EXACTLY what it is!
I was looking at those letters... thinking ATOS... what could that possibly be?
Then it hit me... SOTA as in MINNESOTA.
