I'm glad you asked, Li'l Kurtie. My Patch swag is running low but I've got a hat, water bottle and some really nice pens for anyone who comes up with the most names.

I see little Ricky Nagle and Kurt. I remember the tree when I went to Harrison...back in the day. Great way to share those memories.

Right you are, Sue Sanders. Frankly I'm surprised you didn't get into this picture too; perhaps you were home sick that day. It's December 1964, and we were evidently all plucked out of Miss Brizzolara's classroom for a color-slide presentation that Mr. Payleitner was assembling that fall. I'm pretty sure of all but two. Clockwise from the tree: Joan Ogden, unidentified boy (perhaps Ted Danielson?), Ralph Gentile, Rick Nagel, Kurt Wehrmeister, Marisa Ulin, Cindy Coffey, Kathy Rerko, Peggy Smick, unidentified boy, Cherilyn Harris, Ken Rivera.

The photo was e-mailed my way, but I'm told that it originated in a Facebook page and might have origins with the Geneva History Center. I'm having trouble finding the page in my Facebook search. Does anyone know the page or who posted it?

It was posted on FB's "Who Remembers Harrison Street School (Geneva, Illinois), 1965-72" way back in August of '11 by Mary Bryan (who, if memory serves, graduated from GHS with my sister Missy in 1979).

Dawn, those are the only two I could pick out, also -- and I spotted them pretty much immediately. I still haven't a clue who anyone else is -- even after Joyce provided me several of the names.
