Dear Midtown. I am from Charleston, WV and my friend wants a photo of Keating Elementary for her 70-ish year old mother. No one seems eager to help me with this and I have contacted the public school system, the Burton Library, etc. can you help with this? We want to gift this woman with a framed photo because she had fond memories there. Thanks, in advance.
See my private note. There may be others on DetroitYes who went to Keating that could have pictures.Quote:

I remember Keating, some of my cousins went there, as did my father briefly, but I can find no picture of it online.
This is the only photo I found, but the resolution wouldn't provide you with a framable picture.

Maybe the link to the photo will help.
I also ran it through photoshop, but the image didn't improve much.
Thanks Old Guy. I tried with that photo too. It's weird. Like that particular historical building fell into the vacuum. :) SOMEONE has to have a photo. Just haven't run across them yet.
That picture is not Keating. I think that is a standard picture classmates gives you when they don't have a picture. They use the same picture for Lillibridge elementary. I remember Keating didn't look anything like that picture, and also the brick color was darker.
Along with the other thread that's running right now, there seems to be a real lack of honest documentation on schools. Seems like an unlikely dilemma, considering the fact that pretty much everyone attended school. Maybe it would make for good research, and a book on the history of local schools.
