old High School / new Art Museum

Hard to believe that my old high school building (SHS), is being transformed into the new and contemporary - Sarasota Museum of Art (SMOA).  Forty-seven years ago, in 1968 when I graduated, there were over 2000 students enrolled - with sports being the most dominant school activity.  And, from what I remember there were never more than twenty of us, upstairs in that 3rd floor art room, day-dreaming and staring out those broad windows - planning our future escape.
