For rbradkc - Oak Park 1974

[drscott]

Noting that we went to the same high school, rbradkc asked me in a comment if I was in chorus with Mr. Grace. The answer is no (I didn't take Chorus in high school), but I do remember Mr. Grace. He must really have been tired by the time rbradkc had him...



The next picture features the History faculty. Note the single-at-30 Mr. Brasel ( a big bear of a guy) and Mr. O'Dell, my team American Studies teachers. Mr. Brasel treated me very well, and I wish I had been able to do more for him. :-)



Finally, a bit more nostalgia: The Spanish Club president, Mr. Tim Jones (the stached one in the middle, lower picture), who got me started on the fall-for-them-then-try-to-figure-them-out trail. Unibrow all the way.

HOLY SHIT.
1. You are awesome to pull all that off so quick
2. You have way to much time on your hands
3. Yes Grace was getting pretty tired, he retired the year I graduated 1993
4. 5 of the teachers listed were still teaching when I was going there.

Something I would have gotten around to doing anyway, since I'm gradually digitizing everything. It doesn't take long with the right setup. No more than a long quiz meme, at least. :-)

Anyway, you're fun to entertain!

There's a Kathy Cole, a freshman in '73-'74:



Relative of my classmate at Meadowbrook Elementary, Paul Cole? He was devilishly handsome (if you can say that about someone 8 years old.)

I dont think so..... i'm not sure where they lived then....if they lived in the same house as when i knew them, they were RIGHT next to oak grove park, so that wouldn't have been feasable for them to go to meadowbrook and as far as i know.... she only has sisters.... this is..... (yes its one of those wierd relationships) My ex-wife's ex-step mother.....

and yes, thats her
