The family photo of Billy Elmore has always haunted me. It pops up every now and then as my computer screen rotates through thousands of stored photos.
He is a handsome lad in his twenties with a long face and a serious demeanor.
I am probably the only person left in the world who can recognize him. He died in World War II in 1942 and left no children. He was my great-uncle. My mother’s mother’s brother.

Even on a damp day, the gaily painted blooms, ladybugs and butterflies on a brick wall of Madison Avenue Elementary School seem to pull a ray of sunshine out of thin air and an overcast sky.
The new mural is a vibrant anchor for the Reading Garden at the K-2 school — a cozy gathering spot just out back from the school’s library and designed for use by students and the community, too.
Seeds for the project first germinated a few years back, with school librarian Tosha Nowell’s idea to take the library from inside to out.
