My name is Jim McKenzie. I attended and graduated from Jahn School in 1962. My two sisters and brother also graduated but many years before me. My oldest sister Lois is in her early 80. I was thrilled to find a web-site for Jahn and also for those who attended. Your class was 1958 four years before me. I was just looking at my class pictures this past week along with a number of items I saved. I was a patrol boy at the corner of Oakley and Belmont. This was fun because I lived on Fletcher right across from the school. I think this was the farthest corner. I also served with the crossing guard at Belmont & Walcott. (I can’t remember her name). My dad owned a hamburger grill on Belmont called Shorty’s Grill. It was near the railroad crossing Belmont. Dad also worked at the Western Chain when I was born. We always lived in that area. I have some great memories of Jahn. I remember eating mashed potatoes and gravy on white bread at Ma’s Restaurant and going to Riverview Park and I lived at the roller rink. My dad died just before I graduated from Jahn (January 1962). My mom and I moved in with my sister and brother-in-law. They lived at Kimball & Montrose, which at that time was out of the district for Lakeview High School. I did attend Lakeview for about a week and the realized I was out of the district and transferred me to Roosevelt. I was very sad to leave my friends that I attended with at Jahn.

I am married living in Bloomington, Illinois and working for Hickory Point bank & Trust in Decatur. I have been in the banking industry since college this will be my 36th year. Where have the years gone?
