I began the nursing program in 1961. How interesting, I had no knowledge of the padded cells in the front of the building. I do remember the long tunnel to the laundry and boiler room.
Do you remember Roy Blaber, the carpenter? He and I were good friends and we sang in the choir. He came to visit me in California in 1972. I last spoke with him in 1993 when HS was in the process of being remodeled. The security guard told me that some people had torn the murals from the dining room walls, and built a fire in the ballroom
I used to be a staff nurse .used to live in lindsey smith house .Virginia water .Great days .
