A introspective look on my days in the doomed school. This story is an ongoing project, it is in assents a biography of my years at Lincoln Elementary and Jr High (1981-1986). We start at the end of an era, the day the school was torn down. I took photos to try and save some memories. I would look at them, and deep true feelings of loss would overwhelm me. Here was a part of my history, a part of my identity being demolished. I wanted to put in writing how I felt so this is my story. It is an honest look in to a young mans life heading down hill and what was done to changes, to survive. It follows my year to year changes in my life, as for the good and the bad. Each school year brought different obstacles that would defined who I would be and exposed my many flaws. In the end it would show me that there was still good in me, iwas was not beyond redemtion but my road head was filled with many opsticles... It was at Lincoln I became a man, and had started my own path. It was because of Lincoln and some very caring teachers that help me on that path, but it was my faith that kept me there. I have changed some names to protect the identities of my fellow class mates. In some cases I omited there names altogether. The Story is not yet finished, I will be updating and editing as I go. I still have to re-check some facts. I just found my long lost yearbooks and post the scans, it's most of 1986 (see: Yearbook) . Remember this is about me, my goal is not to embellish or embarrass but to tell it how it was. You know, to tell the truth, or atleast the truth on how I remembered it. If you want to share your memories with me about our school days together just let me know. Also, if you are a Lincoln alumni and have a picture, story or experience you would like to share drop me a line and I will post it. |
