Hi all! I'm writing as both a graduate ('98) and current Bell teacher.  I received a request from a parent on the Friends of Bell board and thought I'd pass it along to all of you.

I went to the Alexander Graham Bell School in 1969 to 1973, If anyone of you did go there in my classmate or anyone of you know who were they? Please let me know. I would like to know who were they. I still remember the names but I am not sure.
