Alamo School Update

The old school still stands, and things are happening in Alamo due to the oil boom. Homes have been sold and there's lots of talk about more people moving in or other development activity. One interesting change is that the present owner (I've forgotten their name) are converting the stage end of the gym into a two story home. Apparently they're remodeling the locker room area too. The picture shows a doorway cut into the gym wall above the locker/entryway, and a new 2nd floor window has also been cut into the opposite side. The roof above the locker room could then be used as a deck? Also are pictures of Shirley and I on the old school steps.

Lorraine (Jenny) Quie



During our visit to Williston in August, we were fortunate to catch Lorraine Quie at home and were able to spend some time with her. She was Shirley and my 1st and 2nd grade teacher, and made a positive and lasting impression on us, as I'm sure she did for all her students. It was a joy to visit with her!


I've reproduced a class picture from those years here, even though it was posted earlier in this blog.
