To the Editor:
As I entered those doors of the LBI Grade School in Ship Bottom a flood of memories washed over me. Forty-plus years earlier I had been a student there. The extremely low water fountains, the feel of those familiar brick walls, passing classroom after classroom on our way to the gymnasium, “Dewey Decimal” (a math cartoon character created by math teacher Mr. Daly), “Funny Money” (a monetary award system created by science teacher Mr. Wolinsky) filled my mind.
I could continue on and on about these cherished times of the innocence of youth.
