THE OLDTII!!ER REALLS
Recollections from 50 Years Ago
By Lab Redafe
Wal, I reckin these here youngsters runnin' around
nowadays couldn't keep up with el Perfesser Gunderson,
who wuz sup| of schools in the county bak in '97. I, recall
readin' in the Journal the| he wuz visitin' the new school of
Clarence Fisk's on the caiial.
Wal, he walked the 12 miles

they call it BelfaSt now--to
Fisk's school in two hours an'
55 minutes.
The| wuz welkin' better than

good time. I cain'| get my or

Keelty writ a letter to say that it
wuz a paradise on earth. He said
the veterans received every care
an' attention an' had pleasant and
agreeable surroundln's an' their
quarters wuz roomy an' they wuz
treated splendidly. Re0kin' he
