OLD SCHOOL

I recently was looking through my files for pictures I took of Jr. High building before they tore it down. I wanted to upload them to the face book site talked about in my last post. While I was looking I found these photos and thought that maybe you all would enjoy looking at these. Pass the word around to others so they can share too. Don't forget that you can click on every photo to make it larger and you can also download it from her to your computer or print them out. I have no problem with anyone using these in anyway that is for memories sakes or to promote anything to do with our city and schools.

The first picture shows most of the east side before the newer section was demolished.

The next photo is of the auditorium.
The nehe xt photo is of the gym.

This I believe was from the west side looking up at Study Hall.

This is the only entrance I believe I ever used.

This the second set of doors as you went in the front.

Stay tuned for pictures of the Junior High building that I took before it's demise.

I sure hope you enjoy looking at these as much as I do and I hope that you would let me know if you did.

THIS OLD HOUSE

Here's an update from the Toledo Blade about the house that I posted on You tube awhile back Vivian Blankenship sent in the photos to me originally and now it show up on line with a lot more information. Here is the link to the Toledo Blade web site. Here is the link to my original posting about this house. Enjoy!

BUCKEYE FANS IN CA.

t BAKO BUCKEYES UNITE

I received a strong response from an earlier post, wondering how many Ohio State Buckeye alumni or fans live here locally. Reader Sunny Kapoor had e-mailed me to get in a dig at all those Oregon fans after the Ducks lost in the Rose Bowl.

A sampling of the responses:

* Louis Sun, wastewater superintendent for the city of Bakersfield, graduated from Ohio State in 1997 and said he too "bleeds scarlet and gray."

He was at the Rose Bowl game and said his expectations for the Buckeyes next year are "sky high."

* Dianne Hoover, director of our county recreation and parks department, told me that she grew up in central Ohio and though she didn't attend Ohio State, is a fan by birthright.

"Most of my family still lives in Ohio so I return for holidays and get the football fever all over again. My brother has an entire room dedicated to Ohio State football and yes, he did graduate from there. I bring 'buckeyes' to share with co-workers after a big win, or sometimes before one. A real buckeye comes from the nut of the buckeye tree, which can't be eaten by humans since it is poison to us when consumed, but not to touch. ... The buckeyes, the tree's way of reproducing itself, have a thorny outer shell, but when they fall off the tree, the shell splits open and the remaining nut looks like the eye of a buck -- hence the buckeye."

* Bill Allison, corporate sales manager for the Bakersfield Condors, chimed in that he grew up just south of Dayton, Ohio, in Centerville, the home of former Buckeyes and current NFL players Mike Nugent and A.J. Hawk.

"I wear my scarlet and gray proudly in the Condors office and can't wait for next season. Go Bucks!"

* And, finally, there is Frank Colatruglio, vice president of UBS Financial Services in Bakersfield who grew up in Tiffin, Ohio, and attended Bowling Green State University for three years before transferring to Cal State Bakersfield and falling in love with our community. He's been here 30 years but still roots for the Buckeyes.

"Growing up in Ohio where it is like Iceland this time of year, it always seemed the Rose Bowl was playing in some faraway land of perpetual sunshine and 72-degree temperatures."
