@jjshaka@BeschlossDC Hard to imagine, but my Mom was 2 years old when this pic was taken! Wild! =^.^= -
@Catwoman2011@jjshaka@BeschlossDC Mine was twelve.

@CarolMaeWY@jjshaka Is your Mom still alive? My Mom turned 93 in May. She is in advanced stages of dementia/alzheimers. =^.^= -
@Catwoman2011 No, she died in '95. I'm sorry your Mom has that horrible disease. I've heard it's the worst. My Mom suffered w arthritis. -
@CarolMaeWY Thank you, CarolMae. I am so sorry for your loss. I would imagine your grief still stings. Time doesn't heal grief. =^.^= -
@Catwoman2011 Thank you Cat. It's hard, but when they're suffering & lived a good life, the hurt does lesson. I wish I could ask questions. -
@CarolMaeWY What kind of questions would you wish to ask and of whom?? Please Follow & DM me if topic is too personal for everyone. =^.^= - 4 more replies

@BeschlossDC Long ago OaklandCA schools were named for noted poets/writers/educators (Markham, Harte, Swett, Longfellow, etc).@OUSDNews -
@welldamnit - That was a good practice. Might be time to revisit. -
@OUSDNews Best start to facilitate such a thing would B2 stop closing schools! Open up small schools like before, & have something to name! -
@WellDamnit@OUSDNews Oh, if we did they would just choose a tortured acronym. Aesthetically and historically unpleasing. -
@ulteriormotifs@OUSDNews No doubt. But one still can hope that small neighborhood schools might see renaissance so kids can flourish. -
@WellDamnit Agreed. Think there's a with being freed from NCLB shackles and LCFF. Maybe not very small schools, but neighborhood, yes.
