APS: 1963-64

I don't believe I've posted this picture of the 7th and 8th grade under the tutelage of Mr. Willard. I don't remember much about the guy, but I think he was a pretty good teacher. I hope some of you out there have pictures of other classes taken during this fine school year. And what about the graduates of 1964? What happened to all of you? Did the basketball team do well that year? Were there any adventures or other stories that need re-telling?

All of us need to make a special effort to spread the news of this website, and get other interested people involved. Surely there are all kinds of pictures that could be posted for the enjoyment of all. We are a select few who grew up in a particular time and place (some might say peculiar - although others might say that should be reserved for the people, not the place). By sharing our pictures and stories, we enrich our lives and strengthen the (proverbial) ties that bind us. Friends, classmates, and good citizens: lend me your pictures. We gather here not to bury the past, but to rejoice in it! And by doing so, we restore our fellowship. Please, good readers, resolve with me to find those old pictures, newspaper articles, and other memorabilia, and post them. Share them with your friends here and make the past come alive once more, if only in memory. Your friends beg you: "Please, Please!" we cry! Nay, we demand it of you! Release those pictures; let them go! Or we won't love you any more. Share and your reward will be both immediate and tangible. Friends; I bless you - and hope to see you 'in the pictures'!

Sometimes I get the odd feeling it is just you and I David! Ha!
Jackie, you can bring pictures to my house and we can upload some if you like...Harry, I see you are logged in and so are others...you can email jpeg pictures to either Dave or I and we will upload them for you...otherwise this is going to fail and I think it has alot of potential for being a great place to come and chat and get reacquainted.
