Grade School Groups

At our reunion dinner Sept. 14, we had the opportunity to gather by grade school group for photos. Some of us attended the same grade school K-6, while others were transferred from one to another school as enrollment in some neighborhoods surged and as new schools were completed. So you'll see the same faces in several groups here. Note: we're still missing the Brookdale group photo. Click on each photo to see the entire image and the complete caption.
