My ol’ Elementary School 1970-1977 🥲. I’ll always have the memories of those now replaced halls and the disinfectant smell. Thank you and God bless you, Mr Tefft, Miss Doody, Mrs Spencer, Mrs Funk, Mrs Schnell, Mrs Carter, Mrs Finley and Mr. Carter 🤟

Reading that link, this looks to become very similar (without the rail component, of course) to Grandview Yard in Columbus, OH. My daughter just moved in there and it’s a wonderful section. The similarities are striking. https://www.grandviewyard.com/

It’s sad, because for about 20 years there, he did a lot of good and had a great legacy built up. He lost his way when his wife, Myra, died about 15 years ago She was his true compass. Ever since then, he’s drifted aimlessly like a confused dog off a leash. Most people do that in obscurity...
