Cool Babies, Strange but Not a Stranger

I cannot tell you how much entertainment these two photos are providing. I have to share! The joy is too big for my heart to contain alone!

Valerie is the one who found them, scanned them, and sent them along. The top one is kindergarten; the bottom, first grade. Look for her and Annmarie, Brett, Jewel, Marty, Kathy, Regina, Melissa, Jo, Susan, and Guy. Later today, I’ll add an update to this post to be more specific about their locations in the pictures. If you email me other people’s locations, I’ll add those too.

A wistful note: look also for Karl Huhner and Dudley DeRouen, both classmates of ours who have passed. Many of you know that Karl died about five or six years ago. Carra told us that we just lost Dudley last week. They are sorely missed, along with Mike, John, and Scott.

Update: Valerie wrote this handy key of the names she can remember. She said, “names I don’t remember or don’t know will be DR.”
