About me: I attended Ryerson Public School. I was in 1st grade at time of fire -- reason is that OLA was over-crowded in 1st grade classes and wouldn't accept me as a student. My sister Linda (grade 5) and brother Jerry (grade 7) attended OLA. The fire, and losing my sister, affected my family in so many ways. Before the end of January 1959, my family moved out of the neighborhood, although my grandmother stayed through the 1960's. It definitely is something that you never get over. Barbara Engelhard
