Reverently Remembered

Seventy seven (77) years ago yesterday, shortly before school turned out for the day, an event happened that changed the life of East Texas forever.
I graduated from this high school in 1968 therefore I knew none of the students or teachers from that fateful day.  I do know some of the relatives of the survivors.  It was not talked about very much when I was in school, the pain was still too great.  It is also too painful of a memory today, but more is written about the event and I think it is important that we pay homage to the ones that lost their lives that day.
