My Brother's Graduation

Here's the 1960 graduating Class of St. Lawrence O'Toole School.

My brother Vinny is in the top row, guy on the left.

a few interesting glimpses

the new section

Here's 6 of the classrooms in the new wing

which was built in 1960.

More to come next week.

other artifacts of my existence....

Some of my rites of passage. I wish I could find

all my promotion cards.

Class pictures coming up later

The Old Section

Here's some of the classrooms in the old wing.

I occupied space here in the early '60's for

grades 1st-4th.

The Gym

This is the gym. It's pretty much the same as

I remember back in the 60's.

It was used for gym classes, class pictures,

christmas plays and folk masses.

They are running performing arts classes

in it during the summer and they still hold

some of the masses in it.

where do i begin.....

Over a year ago I found out that my

grammar school was closing.

This really shouldn't be that big of a

deal but I realized that this is really

where we, as kids, grow up,

develop personalities, friendships and

early memories that directly effect

who and how

we turn out later in life.

This is just the beginning of a very long

term project.

The school is closed to regular classes

but still provides religious education classes.

I have no idea where this will

end up but that's OK

since I like adventures.
