Grade School Memories

In August, 2001, Dee Barrington Wood asked if I could remember the names of teachers we had in Butler Grade School in our K-8 years, 1945-54. I wrote out a list of teachers I could recall, along with other memories of our school days, and mailed that to Dee, along with copies to other "Butler kids" for whom I had e-mail addresses.

Over the next few months, 19 correspondents sent me their Butler memories, and we started a chain-letter of reminiscence. People began to ask if the memories could be compiled, so I organized our recollections by grade years, K to 8, beginning with our teachers and ending with general topics that covered several years.
