Jerilyn, I think it's so neat that in this big world, I've found people who know my little hometown of Linwood. Linwood was so small, you could walk from one end of the city limits to the other. It was a great place to grow up. The only problem was sharing the high with Northfield and Somers Point. It was so crowded when I went to high school (76-79) that we had split sessions with freshmans/sophomores going to school from 12:20 p.m. to 5 p.m. and juniors/seniors going to school from 7:30 to 12:00.
