Margy, thanks for the information on the DC Memories List. I just now subscribed to the new list. I'm a little late adding to the type of information recently being added to this list, but I was born and raised in DC (yes, right in the city - my mother was a nursing student at Gallinger - now DC General). Attended schools all over DC. I was a member of the last graduating class from Central Jr. High School when the building at 13th and Clifton, NW, housed both the Junior and Senior High School students (1950) prior to reopening as Cardozo High School the following fall. Through this list, I also re-connected with another member of my 1950 graduating class. After Central, I transferred to McKinley Tech, then moved on to graduate in NC. My great, great grandfather, who was born in Ireland, died in DC in the fall of 1861. He was 63 on the 1860 DC Census. Family legend says he is buried at Congressional Cemetery. Many kind members of this list have tried to help me find him, but so far no success. He was a physician from Charles County, MD, and it's said he moved to DC in order to help with the influx of troops at the beginning of the Civil war, leaving his wife and children in Charles County. Have not been back to DC for a long time. Have done all my research on the internet, but have been very successful. I truly feel the people on this list are some of the most helpful and thoughtful people I've ever "met" on the internet! Betty Betty GILROY Lawson >^..^< Atlanta, GA laws6262@bellsouth.net
