Born in Ridgeway 1943.A first grader in 1949. Miss Smith was my teacher. Second grade was Miss Cox. Great teachers I must say. I remember
the supply store was in the front left
corner of the school grounds.I lived on Twin Oak Drive next to the school, first house on the right. It would be great to see pictures of the school again.

thanks for the times,

Robert
