| Look at us; we look like we just walked off the set of Mad Men. I am the little blonde sitting on the bench front and center. (From left to right 5th girl in). I loved my kindergarten teacher Mrs. Halper. I remember her being very kind and soft spoken. We went to her home once for a field trip. I think it was field day actually. She lived in a huge house by the sea. We had field day out on her front lawn. I asked Mrs.Halper for a tour of her house and I remember her laughing and taking me for a tour. Just me. See the little girl with the white "go go boots" ? I was so covetous of those "go go boots". See the little boy on the back row 2nd from left ? He was my best friend. His name was Tikey. I loved Tikey. Named our button turtle after him. My other little friend was from Switzerland and he wore Lederhosen for picture day. He was cute with freckles. I loved Kindergarten. I so hope Ellie will too. |

They recorded this with Miss Abrams. WOW! I had no idea there was a video.
This was the other 3rd grade class at Strawberry Point...the one I wasn't in. We fussed so much about being left out that they arranged a field trip to Sequoia Nat. Park where we got to meet the visiting Russian cosmonauts and be on TV. We were still mad!

They left out the cute kindergartners all together and that song was written for us! LOL. I saw Tikey's brother in the video. Such a crazy time capsule. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola!
