Addition:
"I recognize 1st on
left Thomas Worley, 6th grade
Teacher at that time. The teacher on the right was
Rachel Cook. And I am the girl in
the Middle in the top row with the sleeveless brown dress on standing
to my right was Cathy Clyburn.
They were both excellent Teachers. I also recognize a girl named
Betsy (Blond Curly hair holding
the sign). If I am not mistaken she was a friend that I use to spend
a night with every now and then. Her parents owned a business called
"The Silver Moon" in Eccles. I recognize
David Pugh, Carrie and Dixie
Lambert (Sisters), Faye Chandler,
Cynthia Lomax, Elaine Richardson, Cathy Clyburn and maybe I might
remember more later...." Submitted by

Addition:
I
think I can name several of the kids in this picture. The
curly haired blonde holding the Pledge sign is
actually me
Karen Graves (Portnoy).
The little girl seated next to me in a black Eccles Bulldogs
sweatshirt was my best pal
Becky Thompson
(Spicer).
I believe the girl next to her is
Ruth Ann Bolon. The
little girl holding the "Make the Best Better" sign is
Donna Pugh. The
little girl seated next to her in a red dress is
Maria Tessaro.
The little boy seated on the ground on the far right wearing glasses
is
Michael Reedy,
and I believe the little boy second from
the left is
Jimmy Blankenship.
Whew!
This really is amazing to be
able to see us all again!
Thanks for all your kind efforts."

Addition:
"The boy on the bottom row wearing a flannel shirt beside the boy
holding the sign is Glen Harvey and the little girl behind him in a light blue dress is his sister
Teresa Harvey. He passed away a
few years ago and I know it would tickle Teresa (my mother-in-law) to have a copy. Thank you for
your time." Buffy Slate
