What's new? July 3, 2009 New Leedom pictures have been added to the Leedom Estates section. As a lifelong Leedom resident a number of Leedom school pictures from the early to mid 1950's have been added. Class pictures, P.T.A. etc. Anyone who can help with any identification would be great. Many more class pictures will be added. As many of you know my mother, Grace Lockhart, was the first school secretary from 1956 thru 1977. If anyone has any old pictures of Ridley Township they would like to have on this site Please email me. I now have a new website and please take the time to visit and sign my guestbook
