Hans used to walk eight miles to school in bare feet...


Actually only about 3/4-mile. Wildwood School, District 28, one room
grades 1-8, but rarely kids in every grade, average enrollment about 10
kids. Teacher was Mrs. Isabelle Schneider. At 9th grade you went to
"town school" on a yellow bus. During blizzards the bus didn't take you
home, so you stayed at your "storm home" --- all the farm kids were
assigned one of those.

"Storm homes" sounds like a good idea. In our area, they just cancelled the
buses and the farmers came into town on their tractors pulling wagons to get
the kids home.
