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.

Did the farmers display "ARRL Member" stickers on their wagons?
