This has always been an uplifting school. Sept. 64 to June 70 I attended. Among many of life's rules, we were taught to love ourselves, the arts and to stay away from drugs. The foundation for the person that I am is based on my home and P.S. 160 Queens. I heard a drummer on the subway the other day and it reminded me of Mrs. Freeman. Does anyone know how she is doing?My email is m.lewisestarks@hotmail.com. Thank You
