Cheers St. Sebastian Classmates

Having beers with fourth grade classmates! Vince, Jose and I were classmates in fourth grade in St. Sebastian School. They both moved after fourth grade unfortunately so we never got in touch until I found Vince's wife, Reina, on Facebook. St. Sebastian School (before it became a parking structure for Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital where my mom used to work) was on the corner of Halsted and Wellington. Per Google Maps, it is 0.6 miles away from Graystone Tavern. Cheers Vince & Jose!  Thanks for meeting up!   L-R: JF PERSEVERANDA, VINCENTE TIBUDAN, JOSE TIGTIG At the Graystone Tavern after the Chicago Cubs game

Warren N. Barr Sr. Tower, our home in Chicago

Not 'Bye Chicago'; See you soon. June 3, 1979. Sunday. Chicago, IL. My parents lived here for four years; Joy and I called Barr Tower home for three years. At first, we lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Apt. 805. After my lola, Joy and I joined my parents, we moved into Apt. 1202, a two-bedroom apartment. June 3 was our last day at Barr Tower & Chicago. We were moving west to Cali. We took our time, making it a 5-day trip/vacation from Illinois to California. On my lap, I carried a fishbowl with our 6 goldfish the whole way. 📷 Tito Narding Photo credit again to Tito Narding. My dad commented in our family chat: When we were crossing the Mississippi, I felt sad. Looking at the rear view mirror I whispered thank you Chicago. We will be back. I would move back by myself in April 1989.  Promise kept. I recently found my April 1989 photos (last ones in Vallejo, and first ones in Chicago). I'll scan and upload as time allows. Warren N.
