I attended P.S.68 4th-6th grade 1954-1956 then
moved upstate NY. I visited the School last summer, for the first time since I left. I was astonished to find the School and grounds, and park in the most cr edible condition. Exactly as I remembered it. All those responsible for preserving my childhood memory of thiss School, should be highly commended. I will alsways cherish the fond memories I had there, as well as the finest education aforeded me, of which I rely on constantly. My educational skills, not limited to the Math skills I utilize daily in my workplace.
Again thanks to All.
