View all 110 ReflectionsWanted to let the Miller family & friends that although his Poly #22 was retired and Jersey framed in gym, over the years none remained…I’ve been working for many many decades, 6-7 principals to find where it all went, including the Capt’s Trophy and JBM Scholarship. With help from my forever buddy Sgt Alan Green, we worked with the admin, LAUSD and Architects to insure his Memorial, though sadly moved with the reconstruction there, would still be intact and placed in a proper place for all to see. That should happen this Spring. Also our class plaque will be replaced by Poly if anyone has pix or info, please send over to:
