It must have been a fairly new building for that generation. Jeannie was the last Richstad to attend, after having a Richstad there continually since Aunt Ingfrid first entered (Gr Richstad's oldest sister). I remember a news story about it with a picture of Jeannie and Aunt Ingfrid. I see they have renamed it Queen Anne Elementary, I guess to lessen the confusion with the "new" John Hay. I'm feeling "ancient" here!Ruth Millernoreply@blogger.com
