Re: Memories of school

Oh Dorothy, How many memories that brought back.
The board duster thing was especially apt and Taddy will corroborate my memories of Milton Suthers and his dead eye aim.
If he didn't hit you it was because he did not want to take your eye out....but mostly he did hit the target...board dusters for boys...a nub of chalk for the girls, but thrown with enough force to hurt.

They told us that school days were the happiest of our lives.....not sure if, looking back, that was true.
