Michael Taylor and Photos for "David's mark"

Recently I came across this blog http://michaeltaylormedia.blogspot.com and on that blog were photos of the school I attended in Oklahoma that in my book "David's mark" is presented as "Santa Fe" Oklahoma. I obtained permission from Michael Taylor to reuse some of his photos so it can show another angle of the school that I watch my first best friend die at.

I remember hiding in this doorway with a rubber band gun playing cops and robbers at recess.

This photo is very haunting to me. I have so many memories that just crowd my mind as I look at this photo. I can see me...once (I wish I could remember his name) me and my friend convinced a bunch of little girls to get on the marry-go-round, we promised we would not push it fast, once it was loaded we got on opposite sides and grabbed hold and ran in circles turning faster and faster, we only stopped when one little girl went flying off. She did not get hurt.
So many memories....

This was the building that I went to class in Front the front you can see the opening off center to the far end. I entered that door, when down a short hall (think the letter I) and turned right. My class was on this end of the building and toward the back side. It was here that I won that art prize mentioned in the book "David's mark".

This photo is very haunting. Change your focus from the slid to the water tower in the background. That fence runs along the street with the big hill. Just to the right in the photo is the crossing and were my friend was hit and killed by the station wagon. I sat at the foot of this water tower and cried for hours, no one with me. I was 7. From the book "David's mark".
