RE: Extra Credit Questions
I'm so very, very sorry, Bill!
What a beautiful old school -- reminds me of MY elementary school, Robert Fulton -- ah - the WONDERFUL memories of my childhood there! What is equally sad is what has been done to this wonderful old school, Chandler! I can't believe that they are going to tear it down with the books and papers strewn all over -- NEVER, NEVER throw away a book! I always get a sad feeling when I see books discarded. If noone wants them here, there are third world countries in which English could be taught and the children instructed - or in poorer areas of the US as well these books could and would be appreciated and useful. Very sad indeed. Fortunately, my old elementary school (circa 1917) was saved and turned into artists' studios - and yes, I've been back and been inside - oh the memories!! One thing that struck me was how SMALL everything looked now.... as opposed to when I was 5-12 years old! The same fur trees are still there that I used to play under at recess! You can see them in left side of the photo here.... Robert Fulton Elementary School, Richmond, VA
