There is a man who led boycotts of Jefferson Bank..I can never remember is name, but I am sure Charles Brown will know. The bank refused for many years to hire black people for any jobs other than janitors. A lot of people r in these yearbooks that r well known in our city. Before u decide to donate...contact the Archives. I dont know what grade school your father attended but I have copies of 3 I attended and would be happy to email copies. Again as the daughter request copies of your fathers school records. There is a form u will need to use from the Archives. It gives a lot of unique info abt addresses and parents jobs.

I remember seeing a 1946 book, but will have to search for it. What a great idea to donate these books to the Public School Archives. I will do so, once I get what I need out of the ones I have. I looked for the names you gave, and did not find them in those books...however I will look thoroughly and if I find will email to you. Thank you for reading my post. I so appreciate it.

Yes my mother attended Vashon, probably walked past your father. My father Sammie White also attended during that time period. U have some very rare books. I viewed 2 donated books at the Public School Archives in my home town and this is where I saw for the first tilme my parents as teenagers. Someone had donated their yearbooks to the Archives and I am eternally greatful because my family could not afford the expense. It is very possible my aunts and uncles may be in the other books u have. Look fOr ADAMS? Hope to meet u next year and please friend me. My mother is still living and may remember people your father knew from VASHON. By the way they have class reunions...stilll.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523730894129255943.post-33647944815313422212013-07-17T11:43:56.624-07:002013-07-17T11:43:56.624-07:00Thank you for coming by to read my post.Thank you for coming by to read my post.Root Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078852616599847109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523730894129255943.post-105820174765915282013-07-17T11:40:50.063-07:002013-07-17T11:40:50.063-07:00And the Joy continues as you stated "unmeasur...And the Joy continues as you stated "unmeasurable!"Root Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078852616599847109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523730894129255943.post-20961622541248621382013-07-17T11:40:23.340-07:002013-07-17T11:40:23.340-07:00Yes Indeed!!! :-)Yes Indeed!!! :-)Root Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078852616599847109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523730894129255943.post-61037556771669945492013-07-17T11:40:09.237-07:002013-07-17T11:40:09.237-07:00Thank you for coming by to check out my blog.
