Memphis, Tennessee

I attended Graves Road Elementary School for grades 1-8 from 1956-64. When my daughters were about 5 years old, I took them to Memphis for a visit, and we went to see my old elementary school. They weren't impressed. I thought it had shrunk. I distinctly remember the ceilings being higher and the halls being wider and longer. Maybe I'm just wider. And the playground wasn't as big as I remembered either. Oh well.

My mother saved a box of my stuff and shipped it to me when she moved from Whitehaven in 1997. Inside was one of my old wallets which contained a bunch of pictures. Some of them were taken in high school, but a few were from Graves. I have scanned these and a lot of other old and recent photos of Graves alumni. Most of these are listed in the menu above.

If you have some old photos that you would like to share, scan them as JPG files (not BMP files, please) and e-mail them to me.

The City of Memphis Schools has a web site for Graves here, but it's really not very informative.
