“There is properly no history; only biography.”
~~Ralph Waldo Emerson
This note encourages readers in two ways:

First, to send in biographies and photographs of people who attended or taught at BYA and/or BYH [with particular focus on their BYA~BYH school days]; and

Second, to realize that this collection is still under construction, and that names listed below without links often have extensive biographical information listed in the Directory which is an important part of this website.
