John M, no memory of Green River soda, will look for it on my next trip. I knew of Chris Powell and her sister Anita and didn't the sisters date brothers Bill and Tom Rhodes at some point? Gloria Hash had the perfect bouffant hairdo she would tease up in Mr. Durst's (spelling?) music class at Sharples. You boys had alot of mischievous energy at the shacks with the copper wires.
Sylvia, many memories of your mention of classmates David A, Eric C and Gloria L. I wonder the paths others took and would be good to hear from more alums.
Greg C, interesting fun fact re Mondo's NBA star relative Paolo. Mondo's Meats was in the grocery store next door to my dad's TopSpot restaurant and we would run over to the meat market if we ran short of supplies. Store was owned by Don Turner whose son Don Jr and two sisters attended Franklin. My cousin sent photos that block was razed and new development underway about a year ago. I was surprised it did not happen sooner given the lakefront properties increased value.
I was in Seattle with the family last Seafair and Nancy Chin and I planned to attend the alum lunch but one of my grandkids became ill. Kids had a blast seeing my schools, homes on Beacon Hill, UW, Space Needle and especially the Gum Wall....so gross, felt I had to throw my shoes away afterwards, being the germaphobe I am.
