Teens Link 1938 Friends-- Part 3

The students then found another important clue, a 60th wedding announcement dated from last year.. The Madison teens then felt they were confidant enough to find Gerda Frumkin's phone number.

A call was left. Frumkin's husband Perry responded via email and then found Chapman's blogpost about her mother's search

The long-lost friends have since spoken several times by phone and plan to reunite in Seattle this June. O'Boyle says her students will be watching via Skype.

Hopefully, there will be newspaper coverage of the reunion.

That is amazing when you think that the students at Madison are about the same age as Gerda and Edith back in 1938. Who knows how many historians we are going to get out of this class of eighth graders?

Now, That IS Some REAL History, Not Just from Books. --Cooter
