On the 1965 Addison Elementary School honors. You switched the name of teacher Garth John. He is still alive and lives in Greenfield, Indiana, by the way. He was later a principal at Major Elementary, and after its closure, moved to Greenfield, IN, to be an elementary principal and retired around 20 years ago. My late brother, Brent John, had this problem in the military; they filed his name under John Brent, lol. Garth's father, Ralph John, was a teacher and Principal in the Eastern Shelby County school system in the 1920s through the 50's. He was also a farmer. I attended Addison in the late 60's early 1970s and had Carter Bramwell as principal. He was a great and wide man. Also, JW Jenkins, mentioned a few days before, was his brother-in-law and a teacher there as well. RIP to them both. Garth is my 1st cousin once removed. Ralph was my g-uncle.
Thank you so much for the helpful note! The funny thing is (and this happens on occasion in the history section) - this was a mistake from the original newspaper! :) Oftentimes, they got corrected in a future edition, but we don't read every small print item in future editions, so we end up repeating errors. :) I'll correct this on the online edition so that it's accurate for the future. Also - I have heard many great things about Carter Bramwell. Thanks again for reaching out! - Kristiaan
