Thanks goes out to Ms. Alice Rankin (Monroe) for providing the following photos of some members of her family to the BTW website. These photos are also posted in the BTW Alumni Photo gallery. Ms. Laverne Monroe, Mr. James Henry Davis and Ms. Ophelia Gray all attended Borger's Booker T. Washington School. For those of you who may not be familiar with these names; this family is related to Mr. Johnny Lee Gray AKA Buddy. Buddy's sisters are Ms. Novelia and Ms. Ophelia. I hope I got this right; if not please let me know.
