It is historical that we, the last generation to desegregate Duval County, would come together and embrace in this celebration of the lives we have lived. We, the last generation to experience the warmth and love of that school with the big, old, oak tree in the back, called #144. Mrs. Brown was the first for most of us. Mrs.Wiggins 3rd, and on and on. Mrs. Roundtree, Mrs. Hampton, where would we be without them. I expect to see all of you this fall. Peace and Love Ron Wharton
