This is a fantastic photo!! ‘MHS’…I wonder if this school has any relationship to Maybeck High School that was formed in 1972. It’s a school that exists today and is named after a well known architect in Berkeley named Bernard Maybeck (1862-1957).

Great to see a photo from nearby and nearly 120 years ago! Thanks for the share Richard.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
