Kenneth Avenue Elementary ~ 2nd grade class photo
(I'm in the blue top/plaid skirt, middle of front row)
In the summer of 1976, we moved to a new home, new neighborhood, new school. But it was a good move, there were 7 girls around my age in the neighborhood. It was fun having kids to play with. And since we moved there in the summer, I had a chance to meet and become friends before starting school. I remember 2nd grade in Ms Dangberg’s class as one of my favorite years.
