rs, and I could see Palos Verde's, The Pacific and Catalina from my window, many a beautiful sunsets to be seen. Maybe that why I love the sunset so much. We had a lot of fun there, we use to go nuts at Christmas, like Tim Taylor in a way. My brother and I went to Jefferson garde school from Kindergarten to 6th grade. I have mostly good memories of that school I liked all my friends when I was a kid Diana Alan, Brian Della Cerna, Dale Smith, Doug James, Francisco Dias, Raul, Mark and Denise Curtis and many others. I did ok there till 6th grade when I did not like the teacher at all ad she did not like me either, I don't remember her name she was an Asian lady. I remember the other teachers like Mrs Morgan (1st Grade), Mrs Chandler (2ed and 3ed Grade), Mrs Heartnagel (5th Grade -there taint no such word as ain't and I don't give a hoot), And also our kindergartner teacher, I remember she got married that year but I forgot her name. (Nap time, Duck Duck goose, bananas and Penut Butter). Speaking of Kindergarten, I was walking on the strand in west haven ct in 2001 and we were talking about Manhattan beach and a lady said hey are you from California I taught there and live in Manhattan and it turned out to me our kindergarten teacher she remember me and I mentioned the names of the other student and she remember them to, her mother lives hear in CT. My Parents always wanted my Brother and I to go to Catholic School (and in my dads case Military school was always the threat LOL) and an opening came at St James, My Dad went to St James 1st though 6th and to RUSH and was class of 1950. St James was interesting; , one of the sisters was NUTS but the rest were very nice. I did a lot of rebelling, I would tank tests on purpose, they thought I was stupid , never realizing I would be Phi Kappa Phi material and an honors student in collage lol (and yet my typing and spelling skills are laking LOL).
