Skip,
I guess it is
appropriate to first identify myself. For 22 years, until 1960, I was
139-58 232nd street. But, rather than tell you folks about my memories, I
thought I may help you recall some of yours.
Therefore I have just scanned my photo from the 1949 graduating class of PS 156
and then numbered each student. I must apologize for truncating 1 girl (Marlene
Paul) and one boy (Arnold Fogal) on the right side, but my scanner only covers
17".
Then with the synergy of classmates Paul and Alan Frommer and their archives, I
have added a list which identifies almost all of in the picture.
OBTW, I'm the little runt, sitting on the end of the first row, #15 and Paul and
Alan are #83 and #8 respectively.
........Damn, that was a long time ago.. ;-}
And then as a bonus, who can be without a picture of Mrs Wenhold? Will you ever
forget Mrs, Wenhold's weekly Wednesday afternoon, Classical Music Appreciation
Assemblies that we all endured? Just click this url

close your eyes and I'll bet you can see Mrs. Wenhold scurrying through the PS
156 auditorium, slapping her ruler to quiet us down.
OOPS, there I shared some of my memories....... Oh Well, that's what this site
is all about, isn't it.
Enjoy
