T. Morris Chester School in Harrisburg

From Calobe Jackson, Jr., August 20, 2004

The dedication of the T. Morris Chester School will take place at 2 p.m. on October 13, 2004. The old Riverside Elementary School is being renamed to honor Mr. Chester. I think the school will be an alternative school for grades 3 through 7. Some members of the Chester Family are expected to attend. Mayor Reed will preside.
