Larry, Hi, I attended Finletter also between 1951 and about 1955. Don't remember much except kindergarten in a large corner room, and the playground was completely covered in pavement. Even where the swings were. How did we ever survive? Learned to ride my first and only 2 wheeler in that school yard. Lived on Rosemar, 2 blocks away, till we moved in 55 or 56. I really enjoyed Lani's information about Thomas K and Thomas D. I wonder which one our Finletter was named after?
