Arkansas Trip

In early June Debby and I went to Arkansas to visit J.C., Carin and Zenock. Wow, did they ever keep us busy!
One of the places we stopped was Little Rock's Central High School, where the Little Rock 9 integrated the high school in 1957. There is a visitors' center across the street that tells all the gory details. Our visit was very emotional. The picture on the right shows the front of the building, which is gorgeous! You can see four larger than life statues at the top of the white facade. There is also a reflecting pond in front of the building--all-in-all it was very impressive. The school is still a working high school with 2,400 students. They run tours twice a day during the school year. I bet that isn't a distraction to high school kids! There;s more below.
