This goes way back. I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, and this is an old view looking south across the Miami River. The large building in the background is Steele High School, where by brother went to school. I think the red building closer was a fire station. Behind the school is downtown Dayton. I think the bridge still stands. Steele closed its school doors in the 40's and became the Board of Education building. Not sure if it is still there or not.

I returned to Dayton in late '56, was there for a year or so, and then returned to Nevada. I don't recognize Dayton today, has really grown.
