It is fun to read about us as kids and growing up -- brings back lots of memories. When my Family moved out to the Ahtanum valley area, I was in the 2nd grade, but didn't attend Ahtanum Valley till the 4th grade. Steve Quesnell, my neighbor, was going to a little one room school on Ahtanum Road at that time, then I think I remember he went to Ahtanum that same year as I did. Mrs. Johnson the 4th grade teacher, making candles for Christmas, I remember me fainting. She was so nice, one of my favorite teachers, until Mr. Brandt, 8th grade. 8th grade the best year I had in school. So many wonderful memories. So many kids that made a difference to me, I was so scared coming into a new school, but I remember how so very nice everyone was to me.

Yes I agree with you about Steven Glore (that it's hard to think of him as a soldier, let alone dying in the war)... He was such a sweet and gentle boy. I remember first grade in Mrs. Haevner's class (at Ahtanum) and we had those cute little half moon tables. She put Steven, Jane Gray, Randy Reich and I together and I have very fond memories of that year and those people. I remember a time on the play ground in the springtime when a bunch of us were trying to catch a flock of butterflies and Darrell Day caught one and I think by accident killed it. Steven had a little funeral for it by the side of that old 2 story school building and said the nicest prayer. I wish I could remember it! Funny what touches us isn't it?

Good morning! Peggy Herron sent me this (Remember This?) a couple months ago and I thought I'd send it on to you for the website if you'd like. I know this is very long, but it sure brought a lot of forgotten memories back and I could almost smell where I was -- like lunches in the coat closet at school, the floor polish, the new shower room behind the gym, the library. Gosh, I could go on forever. Makes me want to sit down with a tape recorder!

Enjoy!)

Here's something (In 1959 They Said) you might like. I think this put us in 5th and 6th grades! Verna (Hull) Messer 2001

Remember, we'd love to hear from you!
