"Fairview High School was no different from any other high school in Dayton, Ohio in the 1960s. It was simply made of brick and stone and glass. What was different though, were the friendships. The bonds that were forged by a chance meeting of students in a hallway, sharing a table at lunch or simply sitting behind the same person for fours year in a homeroom. A point in time when life was simple. When we cruised the drive-ins and when we learned about 'rock and roll' and
most important we discovered friendships."
