One of the things that makes Hamilton such a great place to live lies in the "small town" heritage it has for those of us senior citizens who have spent our lifetimes as residents. The above photo shows the safety patrol from Klockner School. Eddie Layton, in the lower center of the photo was the son of Mr. Joe Layton, who had the contract for providing the school buses for then rural Hamilton. Eddie and his father drove the buses. Eddie's sister, Dorothy Layton Fracella, was a classmate of mine in the Hamilton High School class of 1951. SMALLER AND RURAL WAS BETTER!

The Porter family lived in East Trenton Heights (Cornell Heights) and both Robert (in this picture) and his brother Bill grew up to have long careers in law enforcement.
Thanks for this great photo. Eddie Layton was my dad. He also had two older brothers, Richard(Dick) and Joe JR. both WWII vets. I went to Klockner school with Bob Porter's son Dave, a classmate of mine.
