About me: |
I went to Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Grade School at 123rd and Emerald in Chicago from 1962 to 1970. Our school was similar to "Our Lady of the Angels" school, except there were hallways separated by glass doors. At the time, I had no idea that these doors were fire code requirements as a result of a terrible disaster that happened a few years before. I've read "Angels Too Soon" and I have been through what was the old OLA Parish. It brought back so many memories of my old neighborhood, church and school. It wasn't hard to imagine that this tragedy could have taken place right in my own backyard.
