Dear Editor,
It is hard to understand why the building that edu-
cated many generations of students and also a landmark
of the community of Norwalk has to be knocked down
and hauled awa (the old High School).
Many ball games were also played there and many
good times, laughs and tears also.
It seems that it could be used for something useful
such as a community building. I know that I would take
money to finish the building, knock it down and haul it
away.
