I attended Jefferson Elementary in 1975 &76. My father was murdered in 1976 so we moved to the east side and attempted John H Johnson elementary 76-78. 1979-1981 I attended Western Elementary where my favorite teacher was Mrs Cooley. 1982-83 I attended Ivy Junior High School. My favorite teacher was John Sato, Greatest Principal Mr. Rhoades. Honorable mention Mrs.Hill and Mr Atwood. 1984-88 Washington Union High School AKA Union. Although not many Mexicans in the school district it was all love. The greatest times in my life was growing up with my black friends. To this day we are all still friends. I was always the littlest guy in the whole district, every year. Fernie was my name, Fernando is my real name. The littlest guy and always stayed in trouble. After graduation I was either going to the military or prison. Unfortunately I went to prison for 22 years. I been out now for a few years. I been thinking about my classmates a lot. If any see this, please say hello. Thank you
