Stonewall Jackson School - 1946

(This photo enlarges - adorably!)

Ahhhhhhh, Stonewall Jackson School. 

My uncle attended (ca. 1924-30); my mother attended (ca. 1927-33);
my auntie attended (ca. 1933-1939).  The family name was Linkous. 
Heck, even I attended for about 3 months in 1952 (First grade). 
My teacher was a Miss Harmon, who had also taught my mother and auntie. 

My grandparents home was on 47th Street, very near the school.
I taught myself to catch baseball grounders by bouncing a baseball off
the brick wall and chasing it down.

Have a look at the attached photo, probably taken in 1947 or 1948* in my
Granny's front yard. Yes, that is little Davey, and that is Jackson
School in the distance. 

Both the home and the school are gone, except in my
fond memories of a simpler time.

Thanks, Dave!
