After we left Chicago from our sabbatical, I found seven friends from my elementary school days in Chicago on Facebook. Three of these friends still live in Chicago, and I was excited to have a reunion with them. We attended Murray Elementary School which is now the Murray Language Arts Academy - a magnet school for languages (Spanish, French and Japanese).After meeting Lynette, Cynthia and Doris at the Third World Cafe, just a block and half from Murray, we walked over to the school which was closed for teacher inservice. We managed to get the vice principal to let us in for a look around, and we spent about an hour there reminiscing about our Kindergarten-3rd grade days. My friends actually went through all public schools in Hyde Park, but my family moved after 3rd grade.

That is really such a special happening for all of you. How wonderful that you were able to see each other AND to get into the school.
