V-E Kindergarten, 1951-1952

Photo came from Doran Butts, but I also remember discussing it with Walt Neal and Bob Rushing.  Unfortunately, I ran across the photo before I ran across my notes on it.  I will do my best to name those pictured but please help me where I don't know or where I am wrong or if you have anything to add about the kindergarten.  It seems to me that Walt Neal's mom was the teacher and started it in her basement.  The class then moved to V-E.    Linda Bourne Hellard
