Gail, The New School on The Site Of Robert E. Lee, is Jose De Diego Middle School, and it opened new, I Think in 1999. I never went to Robert E. Lee, But I Had Many friends, who Did, and I always thought Robert E. Lee, Looked like a neat School. I am sorry they tore REL Down, and it was a piece Of History lost. A Crying Shame !!!!!!! General Lee, would be very Disappointed., and so am I.Best Regards !!!! Robbin P. Learned

Carlos Betancourt , It's funny, I was just thinking, today, that I should tell you , how to access My profile stories, and Classmates . Com. , so here Goes; You can Try out Classmates . Com, for a while, for free, you just join, and later, maybe 2 or 3 months , you can upgrade to gold, for 3 months, or 2 years, like I Did. It cost me $60.00 for 2 years, not Bad, I don't think. Anyway, what you do, is this; Type In Classmates. Com, and they'll ask you for information, ect., and you provide that, then when you're on Classmates. Com, you should join for your school--, Robert E. Lee JR. High School, and then you'll notice on your Main Page, Home, on the left side, you have Communities. Click on Communities, and add my school, -- Palm Springs JR. High School, which is in Hialeah, to your communities. Then when you want to go to my profile, you will click on Palm Springs JR. High, on your communities, and it will take you to Palm Springs JR. High's Site , and then, you go thru the alphabet to the L's and you'll find my name, and you will click on it, and it will take you to my site, and then you may have to click on profile, to get to my stories.

I erased a few of them and left one or two. Don't worry about taking up space - you are not preventing anyone from posting their memories. Best regards,

Don

I went to Robert E. Lee from 1967 - 1969, I rememeber having classes on the 3th floor facing the Merita bakery and the smell coming in the windows would make your mouth water, yes the school had a nickname THE GENERALS the colors were green and gold. There was a huge auditorium on the south side, a center courtyard, and beyond the cafeteria another open courtyard.
The school offices were on the rightside as you walked through the front of the school along 5th Ave. I had classes during my time there on all 3 floors but the 3th was my favorite because of the breezes coming in the open windows. there were portables along the west end of the field and the boys & girls locker rooms.
My best friend and I have my fond memories of Lee and growing up in the Attapattah area. Back when they started to tear down the school I took some video of it, I even took some inside the 1st floor hallways somehow I have misplaced the video and can not find it. I also have a yearbook from 1967 or 68.
I wonder why REL just like the Miami Stadium and now The Orangr Bowl were torn down and why the new name on the ugly school that they built there. maybe because of racial issues, (Lee being a general for the south during the war.)
Still it was a great school to have been a student at and I miss it being there.

I went to REL from 1957 to 1960. It was a neat school. I always hung out at Andy's Drugstore on 7th Ave before and after school. If there is anyone out there that when during those years I would love to e-mail with you. My e-mail is trudellen@yahoo.com

I am very interested in the old, now torn down, and gone,- Robert E. Lee JR. High, in THe Allapattah- Wynwood area. I'm hoping a lot of former students, teachers, principals, and anyone else who attended the school., ect., will write something about the school, and their memories, ect. , of it. I would like to know as much as possible about what the school was like. Basicly, all I know about it was how the outside of the 3 story Bldg. looked, little else, and my curiousity about the school has become an obsession. Though I never attended Robert E. Lee, I always thought it was a neat school, The Historic , and impressive 3 Story Bldg., and especially, when you saw it from I- 95. And I had friends, who went there, but I never asked them about the school, and now, I have no idea, where they are. Let's get some Alumni of Robert E. Lee JR. High to share their memories of the school. I enjoy this, and Most of all, THANK YOU, MR. Don Boyd, for your Great Sites, You are Gold, Sir!!!! Robbin P. Learned

Besides the photo on this Don Boyd site, I would love to have some other pictures of Robert E. Lee Jr. High Miami, so if anyone has any , please E- Mail me at : rpc7560@yahoo.com, and I will pay you for them. Also, I never found out for sure, what Robert E. Lee's Nickname was, and I must know,so if anyone knows, please share it with me. I always guessed it would have been The Generals, but never knew for sure. And if Josie Ritter, who went to Robert E. Lee, around 1962, and skated at Rustic Roller Rink is still around, I would love to hear from you . If so, please contact me at rpc7560@yahoo.com .I remember you from Rustic Roller Rink, I skated there also, when you did, but I was maybe 2 years younger than you, but admired how beautiful you were, and to this day have never forgotten you! I think I remember seeing you at Rustic on saturdays, and I asked someone who you were, and they told me; oh, that's Josie Ritter, and she goes to Robert E. Lee JR. High . Bye!

i attended lee in the early 60, i learned to enjoy reading after taking a reading course there. i also had mrs roper for history. this lady taught me how important history and currnet events are. i also remember the friday night dances in the center court and the playing of retreat at the end of each school day. they may have torn it down but they can't erase the memories.
