Bill,
Thanks for your flattering words. The only part that you requested, that was
missing is the date (1940's) & perhaps my parents names (Pauline Scott Ross
& Walter Ross).

I'll bet that you have some stories to contribute also ?

I would love to hear some memories from some of those many pupils that
passed through that school, that is no longer there.

I have an old picture of my mother at that school when she was young that
used to be on the MOATCHIS website. Wish we had talked about it before she
passed away. It is a Norman Rockwell moment in the history of this country.
If it doesn't get written down soon, it will be lost to the ages & people
will not know how wonderful it was.

Best regards,
Kathy

Kathy,

It was an excellent recollection of your time in the past! The only
thing I missed was seeing names, locations and dates
