Proviso East - Towns & Grade Schools

Since we all attended grade schools and/or junior high prior to our years at Proviso, included in this website is information from those years as well.  By selecting the "Grade Schools & Junior High" category, information about the towns where classmates went to these schools can also be provided.  Currently, most all the information available is related to Forest Park, which is where I grew up and went to school.  Information about the other towns will be dependent on what others choose to submit to this website.

A couple of things to note about the photos.

The last one  "Return" returns you to the previous webpage.

In Conclusion

A Couple Items - 
First – you absolutely will find problems and mistakes with the programs and the information.  I created  a lot of these pages in the wee hours of the morning. I know this isn’t a good excuse because I've been known to make mistakes no matter what time of day. But, this all was put together with a lot of learning and trial and errors along the way. I did some checking, but I think the best way to test it all out is to have others use it and forward any problems, errors, etc. you encounter to me. 
Second – I welcome more photos, more classmate information, town information, etc. You can send your information in an email or if you need photos scanned, send them via regular mail and I'll scan and return them. 
Third – Problems Using The Website - As you’ll see, the website has various components to it besides class  information. This includes information about towns we grew up in, grade school and junior highs we attended, and linkage to other websites.  There's also many linkages back and forth to one another. Each component required a program or two and some testing effort to put it all together. And, a lot of it was done in the wee hours of the morning (along with a night-cap or two).  So, suffice it to say there will be problems that were missed along the way. When you encounter any problem or if you have any questions on how to use the website that isn’t covered in this documentation, please make me aware of it. 


Finally – I really enjoyed my youth and growing up when I did.  I'm not sure I would want to do it over again, but I do enjoy remembering and reminiscing about those "Good Ol' Days", and I'm guessing most of you do too.  Hopefully this website will provide a means of looking back at simpler times and fondly remembering family, friends, and especially fellow classmates.  My best wishes for health and happiness to all those who touched my life while I was growing up.
