I posted these pictures on Facebook on February 15, 2010 and the comments followed that post. I do not have the actual dates of these pictures. Some were processed in May 1972. Some were processed in October 1972. Others had no date.

That looks like my brother Justin Gordon, the one with the tongue sticking out???
Terrell Shaw
Yep! My first year at McHenry. I still love those kids. What do you hear from Justin? The boy to my right is Randy Hulsey, the girl in yellow is Karen Terry. Nancy Edwards died a year or two ago, cancer I think.
Zelda Buford
Justin is great. He lives in Cartersville, with the wife and kids.

There Justin is again with the tongue sticking out. (Before Michael Jordan)  ) Wow! I remember the radiator that was used to heat the room. |

This slide was processed May 72
labeled "Jay Osborn's brother"
Andrew had gone to sleep on the bus during the return trip from (I think) the Atlanta Zoo. His mom was a chaperone for the trip and took Andrew along. |

Wayne Morgan
I run into Wayne every now and then. He has done some work for me several times, including the tile work around our fireplace. He was a genuine ring-tailed tooter as a fifth-grader, but somehow lovable anyway. I don't think Wayne will mind me sharing that Judson Frost paddled Wayne's hiney for me on more than one occasion! |

| Inside my first McHenry classroom. The gray paneling is the partition that separated Nancy Helser's little reading class from my class. |
 |
| Milton and Ellen Bennett. Ellen was our school secretary. She and Milton lived directly across the street from the school. This was a retro prom in the school gym. |

L-R: April Ransom, Terry Harcourt, Dwight Jones, Greg ?, Mike PruittDwight was a very quiet little boy. He died, tragically, as a teenager.
I have seen April a few times as an adult. She has a daughter who is the spitting image of her mother. April's father owns Grandpa's Attic on Shorter Avenue. I see him and/or April's sisters occasionally. Terry used to work at Loyd's Auto Repair and has worked on my cars several times over the years. He has a twin brother, Jerry.

This picture was taken in my classroom. The janitors, Earl and Nellie Hill, lived on campus in a little house directly across the drive from that window.

The McHenry prom queen.

The driveway at McHenry. See the marble entry post in the distance? I think this is Jeff Jenkins (L). There are three Jenkins boys. Their mom and dad were very active parents.
The label reads " Eddie & motorcycle".
