About me: I remember other than the horrible event for which like many others still haunts me .. I pray everyday for all of us .. I lived and went to HOC when it happened I was 5 yrs old in Kindy there .. Many OLA vets came to my school in the afternoon until the new school was built .. I went 1/2 a day in 58'- 59' .. Nobody let us talk to the OLA survivors now classmates when they came to school on the bus .. The friends I could of should of made from OLA back then .. Oh well .. Happier note .. I can tell anyone from any part of this great country that as a kid [ well maybe NYC too ] there was no better place to grow up than in a Chicago working class neighborhood .. It was working class with class .. God bless all of you ..
