1951-1957
I remember walking to school. It was two miles and up hill both ways and in the snow. It snowed year round until summer. In the summer I did not have to walk to school. At the least that is what I must have thought as I tugged off to school in 1951. I did not realize this then, I began growing up early in my life.
Smart for my age and a handful for mom she sent me to school early; 5 years and 6 months old. The lessons I learned those first three years at William Penn Elementary School are lessons that have lasted throughout my life and shaped my ability to succeed. The first was; I did not like school, there had to be a better way to learn.
