You know out of this 3rd grade class there are three that are no longer with us. Linda Sears, Stan Johnson, & Russell Johnson all taken way to soon. I remember Stan was killed in a car wreck just 2 months after graduation.

I think that is Johnny Wooten. What about the girl on the front row next to Bobby Anderson isn't her name Debbie ?

Over the weekend it dawned on me I believe the last girl to the right name is Debbie Herndon, I think.
