OK, I'm BUSTED! What CLARIFICATION? You should have been in one of my earlier discussions with Billie in re: the Great Greenwood Wife-Swaps, so you'll understand that now I'm thinking, "OK! Polatty sounds right!" The only Polatty I recall was "Scoopy", who was much older than me and a lifeguard at the old Rec Center on Sprolls Ave.! If Cindy and/or Sammy (or worse, their spouses, if I am wrong!) are listening, I may never be able to go home again. In the meantime, let's discuss the schools. WHO is your dad and what year(s) was he at GHS, where we used to sit in Mrs. Reynolds' 10th-grade biology class at 11:15 and count the cars on the 11:12 freight train that came up the tracks at Circular Street? I graduated in 1962 -- oh! God, I'm old! The new high school opened about 1971 or 72, so there couldn't have been a lot of time between us. Maybe if you ask him who were the Swingin' Medallions when he was there it would help us time-wise. Do you know that gracious old school building is now CONDOS? As I understand it, each classroom was converted into a studio apartment; some are connected and are multi-room deals. Now, you tell us your Dorns and I'll tell you mine. Omigod, Polatty!
