Do you remember.....?
The old A&P? It seemed HUGE back when I was a kid.

Yes, I went to South School before it became Wilma Crall. I also, remember Wilma Crall. She was a great lady. I think most kids that went to the school would remember her. I often sit and say all the teachers from one hallway to the other.
Let me see how many I can name: Mrs. Gordan, Mrs. Yow, Miss Martin, Miss Dodd, Mrs. Garlow, Miss Findley, Mrs,. Shaffer, Mrs. Harriger, Mr. Beltz, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Braden. I think I got them except for one room. Oh my land that has been a long time ago.

OK, Rita -- you got me thinking about whether I could do the same for North!
During my time there, from east to west on the first floor (which would be K through 5), there were: Ms. Voelm, Ms. Ellis, Mrs Herold, Mrs. Henkel, Miss Newmann -- and I am blank on the 4th grade teachers, as I spent that year living in Virginia. Downstairs were Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Kersh and the first generation of MAPP -- Mr. Casey, Mr. Kent and Mr. Bach.
During my tenure there, the principals were Mr. Yochem and Mr. Bell.

How about Toni's bakery. All those sweet pastries. Always loved getting sweet treats there.

I left Galion in 1988 and have lived in three southeastern US. I've only found one other bakery that makes glazed donuts as good as Toni's.

I worked there during high school from the age of 15. Donuts were good, but his egg bread was THE BEST! I have never eaten butter flake rolls like his either. The ovens in the back were huge as was his heart! He was without a doubt the best boss a kid could have. I remember riding my bicycle to work from our home on St. Rte. 19 west of town- about 3 miles. In the summer I would change into a dress after getting to work. Can you imagine working in a dress today? I could write a short book about our (Margie Frye's) and my experiences there.Mary Deppen Court

Yes, we always got shoes and J& H. In fact when I took mom and dad to a health clinic I ran into Howard and his wife. Had a nice conversation with them.
