The RTD has a neat article on the Ginter Park Elementary class of ‘49 reunion.

Roberta Tyler Rock was a member of the February class. She remembered a secret girl’s club with her friends from the neighborhood and playing tackle football with neighborhood boys. It was the only time girls could wear jeans, because skirts and dresses were required for school.

“We came up right after World War II. We loved our country, and a lot of the guys went into the service and served and that had a big effect on us,” she said. “I’m glad we’ve gotten back together. It’s amazing how we can be apart for . . . 60 years and get together and be friends again.”

That’s SIXTY years people!
