    This photograph is simply amazing and I cannot tell you how much I personally appreciate it. This is what my old friend Harry Drummond would call a "Time Tunnel"... an event or object that transports your thoughts back in time. I'm really just looking at this photo the first time with you and running off my first thoughts.

    I am not sure what this first door is on the left but I specifically remember the next door on the left being the classroom where Mrs. Surface taught second grade. Down at the end of the Hallway I recognize that facillity as the Girl's Bathroom with the Boy's being reversed to the other end of the Hall. This was identicle on each floor as I remember. And as Nancy refers to this photo, this hallway leads in the direction of the Kindergarden class still apparently held on the first floor in the very same classroom! And just look at that office bench, unchanged by time, just as our affection is for this wonderful school. -ms
