Here is a little information "about" Roger Bell.


I graduated Ketcham Elementary in '54, Kramer Junior High in '57, and Anacostia High School Washington DC 1960, Maryland University in 1973 with a Civil Engineering degree, became a Maryland registered professional structural engineer in 1975, worked 10 years for several DC area private engineering firms before connecting with the federal government for 32 years and retiring in 2001.  I relocated from the Pinefield Community Waldorf, MD in 2002 to Harrisonburg, VA in the Shenandoah Valley.  Played golf for the fun and fitness quite frequently until about 2010 and now I use the local fitness center for my regular exercise and I maintain this webpage of old school pictures with the purpose of trying to identify the names of everyone you see in them. Along the way I have collected videos taken at various Anacostia Reunions I've attended.


My goal with this web site is to share all the old school pictures that classmates send me and add names into the pictures of everyone in them to the extent that our memories allow. If you know someone I haven't identified in any photo, you're urged enter the persons name and their location in the picture in the comment box located below the picture or simply message me at kidagain@comcast.net or even simpler still phone me at 540-560-2468 and we'll remedy the problem photo together.


Anacostia is the High School in Southeast Washington DC which was served by Hart, Kramer and Sousa Junior High Schools. Hart Junior High served Anacostia for only two years before Ballou High School opened and had it's first graduating class in 1962. The Junior High Schools were again served by an abundance of Elementary Schools, such as, Kimball, Ketcham, Orr, Congress Heights, Draper, Simon, Patterson, Anne Beers, Randall Highlands, Amidon, Stanton, and Buchanan Elementary Schools. It surprises me that Washington DC does not have an archive of photo negatives taken by the commercial photographer contractor (Rideout & Stapp) who took the pictures.  I feel certain that it does but I just don't know where it is.
