Who Am I

         

 

My 1st grade school picture. It was made around Christmas in 1949. The teacher was "Miss Ruby Lane". She lived in the teachers cottage in Porterdale at the time the picture was made. I don't know when or if she ever moved from there, but I think she did. I lost track of her when I finished the 8th grade and started the 9th grade at Newton County High School in Covington.

I am on the 3rd row from front. The first row of kids standing. I am the 3rd boy from the left (the last boy on that row) with overalls type bottom with a stripped shirt. Boy how we do change!
