John,

This is brilliant! Thank you very much. I know that my mother lived at
several different Ballard area addresses as a little girl and I'm sure that
she attended more than one Ballard elementary school. My curiosity has been
raised now and I'm starting to wish I had the answers to more questions so
maybe if Eleanor from the Seattle Schools site contacts me I can request
more...depending on the charges involved.

This was a big help. No dates were specified in your email so I can only
presume that Whittier was the school she was at in June 1932 when this photo
was taken. I'll wait a day or two and hope that I hear from Eleanor. Great
name! My mom was Eleanor too!!

Thanks again. I'll let you know how it goes. This has been a big help.

Bonnie
