HI MAC...THIS WAS MY SCHOOL FROM 1925 TO 1931. IT WAS STILL PRETTY NEW AT THAT TIME AND HAD KIDS FROM THE BURG AND VILLA PARK. MY GRADES MUST HAVE BEEN GOOD CAUSE THEY ASSIGNED ME INTO A LATIN CLASS AT JUNIOR 4 IN 1932. THE PARK THEATRE AND CASINO RESTAURANT WERE NEARBY AND TRIPP'S GARAGE WAS ON HAMIULTON AVE. WHERE THE D'AUGUSTINO'S TURNED IT INTO BOND'S ELECTRIC. TONY REX AND CARMEN D'AUGUSTINO WERE RELATED TO OUR FAMILY. DR. JOE BRENNA WAS ONE OF MY CLASS MATES AT HAMILTON. IT ONLY SEEMS LIKE YESTEREDAY AND IT'S BEEN CLOSE TO 100 YEARS AGO. BEST REGARDS.

Hi Ralph:)
The building looks nice in this picture but Trenton just liked to tear stuff down. Stuff that is 40 years ago sometimes seems like yesterday to me too:)

Look, flat and simple this is just pay backs to the unions for the SDA programs under the state.

And don't try to convince me otherwise. They changed the name a few time times to things like the School Construction Authority and several other variations but under the last few administrations "it is what it is".

It's only not illegal because of where we live and at that I'll stop.

This is not people being dumb or not caring about the past (the don't), they care about "the vote" and the "pay back for the vote".

If over a beer someday? I'll buy.
