My mom and dad graduated from Washington HS in KC...as did some of my aunts and uncles. I think they...or at least Dad...attended Vance Elementary. I believe Grandma Alice attended Everett School. I've been to a handful of reunions and anniversary parties at Wyandotte County Lake. I have photos of some of those too. In fact, I have all sorts of old Wyandotte County photos or photos of family living in Wyandotte County. :) I need to get my husband to put my website live so I can post a bunch of them. ~k ---------------- > Indeed I do remember her -- more specifically, the name, since our class > was > quite large for its time.
