    FROM top to bottom: first pic is kindergarten with Ms Page (1972-73) I am in the top right corner. also in this pic, among others, is Kevin Dalson, 2nd row from bottom, 3rd from right. His nickname was "gubby" and he lived at the other end of griswold (our street). P2-combined class pics of edmunds & bacon 74-75, 75-76 (2nd & 3rd grade?, not sure what happened to 1st grade). As you will see, apparently we also took an outdoor class pic with Ms. Bacon's class. P3 This is our 2nd grade class with Ms. Edmunds (enlarged). Ms. Edmunds was one of my favorite teachers. As you can see, we were part of the beginning of the new "integrated" era (at that age I didn't know there was anything ever different). I am in the back row, 2nd to left (blue shirt). 2 to my right is Kevin Dalson again & next to him on the right is Mike Waalkes (who became a best friend of mine for a while; we played rocket football together & later became rivals as we went to different high schools, GRCH v Ottawa); Mike lived a few blocks away (his mom was a teacher's aide at alger, and died at a young age, God be with her); I don't remember all the names but I remember an Amy Anton. I also particularly remember the gal in green in front row, 2nd from right, but don't remember her name. Also, I remember Amy Hornung (?)...is that her in the red, two to right of Ms. Edmunds ? They lived next to the Engelhards on Blaine. P5 Here is 3rd grade class with Ms Bacon, the inside pic: I am in the 2nd row, four from left with green & blue rugby shirt. I think that is Darryl Edwards to my left. He lived near the Byles house on Hazen. Directly behind me is Shawn Wiley. He also lived on Hazen & I remember going to a slumber party at his house once. To the left of Shawn is Kenny Norman. He was best friends with Mike for a while, but they moved. To the right of Shawn is Mike Waalkes. Directly in front of me is Amy Hornung (this time I am sure). And to the left of Amy is a Korean boy who I was friends with for a while, but we got in a fight once. Directly to the right of Amy is a hilarious pic of this boy grabbing at his zipper, ha ha. Don't remember his name. To the right of zipper boy is Vicky VandenBosch. She married Dave Tuuk (who I knew from GRCH & Calvin, as well as a semester in Spain). Back up to 2nd row, two to left of Ms. Bacon is Kathy Mendels. I LOVED Kathy's outgoing spirit. She was great, and she had some great brothers, her younger ones were friends with my brother Steve. Her older bro, Chris, was a star athlete at Ottawa High School. I also particularly remember the girl to the right of Kathy because she had a vision problem (can't recall her name, though). By the way, it was around this age that I started experiencing vision problems. I needed glasses, but for many years refused to wear them, and squinted instead (this definitely had an impact on my development ). Now we are outdoors with Ms. Bacon (did I have her for two years? Did she switch grades? Or is this the same year? It looks like mostly the same students). I am in the front row with red pants (late 60's, early 70's style), helping hold up the sign. I see Kathy Mendels in the back row, 2nd to right ! 2nd row I see the gal with eye problems and next to her is a boy I remember as well, but not his name (or is it todd ganzevoort?) (he's not in the indoors pic). Shawn wiley is at the far right in 2nd row. Mr. Clements our principal is also in this pic. Helping me hold the sign is Mike Waalkes & Kenny Norman. Every now & then i get a new flashback re names & faces & incidents. Stay tuned for more. After 4th grade I transferred to Seymour Christian and attended the Christian schools for the rest of my school years, but I did see Mike Waalkes from time to time around town and his dad at Boorsmas grocery store. I would love to hear from some of these classmates again sometime. Too bad elementary schools don't have class reunions. That would be fun
