Glad to hear the buildings are being saved. I went to Gulf Park in 1943-4. Is there anybody else from my era still alive? Caroline Birdwell Patrick

Hi, Elaine,
The Gulf Park buildings are at this moment being completely renovated back to original status. Thank the good Lord. USM has been so wonderful in taking good care of our history and our memories. I was at Gulf Park from 66-68. Loved every minute of it. Especially the jr–Sr. traditions.
Peace.
Jake

Hi Pat, When did you go to Gulf Park? I graduated from the high school in 1963. Your name sounds familiar to me.
When I tell people how we had etiquette lectures and had to have so many dresses and three lengths of gloves for various occasions, they are incredulous. Still, it was a wonderful place to go to school. I have very fond memories of my classmates and teachers there, and the lovely dining room in Hardy Hall from which you could see the Gulf. hope this group is successful in preserving these lovely buildings; they are a wonderful treasure of the Old South.

[...] like Modernist buildings, I need only raise the issue of East Ward School in Gulfport and the Administration Building at Gulf Park College, both built in the 1920s, handsome structures and easy to sell to the public [...]

I agree -Gulf Park College should not be destroyed. It is a very beautiful campus and there are so many memories for those of us who attended Gulf Park. It was truly a very wonderful experience that none of us have forgotten.
