Re: Old Downey Elementary School

From Trina Roach, December 16, 2006 in reply to Calobe Jackson, and James R. Murphy's letter of 16 November 2006.

Hello Calobe,
If you are referring to the Downey Elementary School right off of Herr Street, I attended that school from kindergarten till grade 4!  What a wonderful picture James sent. Even though I was in the new building, it still brought back memories.

Kind regards,
