Can someone please help me recover any info from when I was attending Taylor Parks? I used to live at 6736 Merrick, right down the street back in the day. Attended kindergarten with Mrs. Stien , not sure if it is spelled correctly, in 1968. There used to be 6 th grade there in my day. I attended West Jr. High for 7th grade, then Taylor Center High 10th-12th. Graduating in 1981.I have many school mates from there on my Facebook and they are asking me questions. So that is how this all came about. Thank you Jerry J Bills
