EHS Front Gate 1949
This is a view of the front drive of the Episcopal High School, where -- excluding the years he served with Patton during WW 2 -- my dad taught from 1936-68. And where my sisters and I and Alicia grew up.
The road begins levelly, then rises slowly upward to the top of a hill that overlooks the city of Alexandria. In the center of the photo you can just make out the front of Hoxton House, the main building and academic heart of the school.
Just inside the gate and to the right is the school's pond, seen here in a photo I posted a couple of weeks ago.
This long, quarter-mile stretch of road made for unbelievably great sledding in the 50s.
This is an old postcard I found many years ago that I'd given my sister Ruthie; it was returned to me when she died.
