Little Red Schoolhouse

Thanks to Debbie (Grillo) Robbins for sending this Milford News clipping. The year isn't on it. I think it

must have been 1948, give or take a year. If you know, please let me know. Email link on homepage.

( A few days after I posted this, I heard from Paula (Tellier) Alves - first row in picture - who said itmust

have been taken in 1947. My wife recognized some names and also said 1947. I'll never doubt her

again.
