My Martin Luther King Jr., Senior High School teacher days





I always got a kick out of the name of the school. Since MLK was a junior, but the school is a senior high school, they'd write out (and say) his whole entire name, but they'd add the senior bit in there lest anyone think we were a junior high school. ;-)

You can see the gold suit in all its glory, and more students pics, and another suit my grandmother sent (orange), in my Detroit photo album.

    i wish there were a picture of gayle in here. gram would get a kick out of that. (gayle goes to their church now.) gayle was another math teacher, but when the old math dept. head (the gal on the far left in the picture) retired, gayle got her job.

  4. i'll have to dig up the pics from Bridgemont (SF school) and post them here. i've got loads in the basement (which is about 20% packed or junked/recycled/given-away at this point).

  11. If you look at the pictures of the Halloween party, he was the gall guy in the caveman outfit.

    I didn't post any of my other pics of him.
