Reunion brings Pittsburg alumni memory rail to life
Pittsburg Grade School alumni gather every two years since 1984 to relive memories and visit the old grounds. Ken Tyler, 1965 graduate and reunion organizer, notes most attendees return. varied years bring different energy as participants recall classrooms, teachers, and a few long-ago incidents. Samuel Burnett, 64, still drops by to see changes, while Annabelle Sellars, 69, recalls breaking an arm and her brother leading a strike, later becoming a teacher herself.
