FacebookI'm a proud alumni of Talmud Torah. Attended in the late 1940's. Fond memories of being picked up by Joe Shtabsky's cab company every day for school. Good friends with the late Mel Shtabksy, one of his sons. My mother, Claire also attended, and is the oldest living graduate, she is 92 and currently resides in the Edmonton General Continuing Care Center. I'm looking forward to attending the celebrations. And by the way, it was Lisa and Mike the cooks who made that delicious baked mac and cheese. And the late Reevan Dolgoy always left his crusts under the dining table. Many memories too numerous to mention.
