I don't remember the part of town, but I think the schools I went to were called Ridgecrest Elementary and Weatherly Elementary.

I remember I used to go to Big Spring park to feed the ducks. Hunstville was great. I was very sad when we had to move away to Florence.

Ridgecrest Elementary must have closed (I've never heard of it.), but Weatherly Elementary is only about one and a half to two miles from where I lived. Weatherly Elementary is a feeder school to the Middle School that I attended. You probably lived in the Hillwood Neighborhood like me and Homer Hickam.

You lived in Southeast Huntsville.

Small world.
