I totally forget I had taken these group shots and ran across them in a box looking for some negatives. I took quite a few images when I was working the routes but much of the film was in a locked box that was stolen from my apartment when I still lived in Hammond. I still have some rolls...
I suppose one advantage of not knowing how to embed the photo is providing the original link allows everyone to see and download the high resolution version instead of the photo being downsampled.

After asking about the status of WHBC, I did some more searching and ran across the connection with Higher Plain Baptist Church. It was not clear if WHBC had simply changed its...
Mr. Sprunger was the one who handled demerits. Before working for the college he had spent quite a few years working with orphans. I got to know him quite well working in his Sunday morning B Adult class and have never forgotten his compassion, respect and ability to work with the adults that...
I remember having a conversation with him about some buildings at Kedzie and Lawrence that were populated by immigrants from Lebanon. The following Saturday he drove to Chicago and went visiting with me.
