James's Story
I attended Volta from the middle of kindergarten ('59) until a few months into 7th grade ('66), and lived near Central Park and Ainsle. Wow, I am overwhelmed to see some names that I recognize from almost 50 years ago (where does the time go?) and actually have some memories of people I hadn't had any contact with since that time.

In my spare time I write horror/SF and recently checked off another entry on bucket list by becoming a published author.

We have son and daughter who just recently moved to opposite points of the country, leaving me and my wife as empty nesters.
I would thrilled to make contact with anyone from those 'golden days' at Volta.
