Hi, I taught at Monroe High School from 1995 - 2006 and have written a novel that takes place in the neighborhood. The book, Five Blocks Down, was a finalist in the 2018 Indie Awards in the category Young Adult (age 17 and up). I think it would be of interest to James Monroe graduates and would like to find out how to post it on the Alumni Web site. You can visit my website: miriamsidanius.com for more information about the book.. Best regards, Miriam Sidanius

To the classes of 1959-1964 Ralph Lazo, a former teacher and counselor at Monroe HS was also the only non-Japanese internee of a Japanese internment camp in World War II. As a Mexican American, he interned himself in the Manzanar internment camp as a protest to the treatment of Japanese Americans at the time. While at Monroe Mr. Lazo taught Spanish and Homeroom and he was a counselor. Mr. Lazo passed on in 1991; his story still largely unknown outside of those internees he lived with. Several producers at Fox Sports learned of Mr. Lazo last year, and we have set out to tell this extraordinary story. Now we are trying to piece his life story together. It's been a slow labor of love, but gradually we have learned much about this kind but secretive man. Now, more than ever, we feel his is a story that need be told. We are looking for people who may remember Mr. Lazo - students or other faculty during that time, who may be able to tell us of their memories of him during his tenure at Monroe. Any story or tidbit of information would be most helpful. Please contact Paul Durant at 310-444-8531 or at showa41@netscape.net. Thank you Paul Durant Producer "Going to Camp" 310-444-8531 witerice@charter.net
