One Hundred Years

Family, North Carolina, Randolph County, School

Yesterday Grays Chapel Elementary School celebrated its one hundred year anniversary. A community school, my family has been connected with it for three generations. Formally a 1 through 12 union school, my Mom, my Dad, my brother and my sister all graduated there. My father and wife taught there. My Dad was principal there and my two sons and I attended there.
