In their words

Quoted character for character from the printed page, with the page it is on.

You said that the last place that the school was located was about the third location of the Tampico School.

Charles Hindes and Norman Hindes, #14 Charles and Norman Hindes , p. 19

Yeah, I think you were in the final location of the Tampico School and that one shifted slightly from a different foundation.
