There is something melancholy about watching old films and realizing that, most likely they are all dead-people whose images look so full of life-it’s a reminder of one’s own mortality.
7 years old and no posts.. well 15:27 mark is Hillcrest Elementary School, present day Catholic school. at 15:36 the kids are coming up the steps from 2 first grade classrooms. My first grade class was in the room on the left down those steps.. in 1955. Those kids today are 86-87 years old if still alive. Late on around the 45:00 mark, it looks like the people are leaving work at the old Plaid Mills on W. Webb Ave, but this is on the other side from W. Webb.
Mrs Loy was down stairs on left1959-? Nice person. Wonderful 1st grade Teacher. MS Scott (sp) upstsirs, 2nd grade, she was mean spirted, a gas lighter, zero compassion, if I could only go back, being who I am not, 7 yr old me would have made her lose her job.
