It's been 28 years since we lived here, but I still feel a connection for the place where we raised little children

This was our house. We planted the trees as little sticks

The entryway was added by the new owners

'Karen's tree' was just a twig when we planted it

Both Karen & the tree had grown by 1992 when she returned to run the Columbus Marathon She qualified for Boston with a 3:26!

This is how it looked in Dec 1975 when it had been growing for over 2 years. It's hard to tell it's a blue spruce. Karen was 3 and Jeanne was 6

The trees hide the house pretty well from this angle

The trees are gone from the right side of the driveway

View from the side

Friends and Neighbors Frank and Peg

Just like the old days with Pat and John

This used to be Fishinger School. Jeanne was in the last class to finish 6th grade here. It closed in 1980.
Karen started Kindergarten here in 1976 but switched to St Andrews when the decision was made to close Fishinger.
Now it's the private Wellington School.

The Kindergarten had a separate building and playground

We spent a great deal of time at this location way back when

This is where we would enter Lucy Chu's piano studio

She's still teaching and still looks the same
