Hi Miss Brendarich--My name is Roz Graham and my mother was Shirley Graham and she worked at District 189 in East Saint. I last attended Clark Jr High before locating to Arizon in Oct 1984. My mother has since passed and I was wondering of any people that would have went to that school during that time that you may know. I am very knew to this but thank you in advance if you could help..I miss people like April Edwards. Cecelia Green, Baranyca Williams. Constance Barnett and Sonya Maggard to name a few.

Well Hello! Yes, I'm the Brenda Rich of your childhood. All the way back to the John De-Shields Homes!! Do you Remember that? I was the little sanctified girl .. the 7th child of the litter .. LOL !! Well, I still am sanctified, but not so little! I've lived a wonderful life. I have four grown up children, who're all alive and well in the earth. I have a daughter who is a missionary and studying to beome a D.O. She's called to the Nations of the world. As I speak, she's just taken her final exam to complete her freshman year and will be heading for the Eastern Mennonite University to complete her sophomore year. Oh, Wesley, there's so much to tell .. I'll email you and fill you in with more .. May God ever continue to work in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure!
