Grand Point School         I am not looking for family at this time but I am looking to find out if anyone knows or knows anyone that knows anything about a school that was south west of Irvington by the name of Grand Point.       I went there for five years and after I left it was consolidated but I'm not sure to where. It was a one room country school and for the five years I went the most in the eight grades was twelve. I was there from 1944 to 1949. Any information will be appericated.         Lawrence Downes         gggpa39@centurytel.net         Dothan, Alabama
