Fort Hunt fire
Posted Wednesday, September 9, 2009 01:07 PM

Sadly I remember this night in December I was going deer hunting with my dad.  It was early like 2:30 in the morning and as I was loading our car I saw all these clouds of smoke over the school.  I asked my dad to drive up.  I will never forget the flames like you see in the movies.  I didn't know whether it was a nightmare or a dream - your school burning down.  I can't help but think if the school didn't burn would Fort Hunt still be a high school today.  Some things you never forget in your life that is one I will always remember.  Didn't mean to depress anyone.  Thanks.  Jim

that was a horrible time.  I remember cleaning the library books with that artists grey erasure stuff.. what a mess.  And I remember having to go to school at Mt. Vernon and Groveton, where we were all hated.

And I never did see my orange and black "running suit" again after that fire... I still miss that suit (NOT).

But the good news is that it's still a school... my neices and nephews all went there.

Hey Stephanie it was terrible.  But I didn't mind going to school at Mt. Vernon or particurlarly Groveton. I knew many of the kids because we went to school with them at Stephen Foster Ed Hahn, Carl Dutzman they knew your brother Steven. I really liked the guys at Groveton.  Carl Dutzman got me my own locker at Groveton it was one of the nicest things anyone did for me.  I played baseball since we started school at noon we got out usually by 2!  I still wished the fire hadn't happened but the kids were pretty nice I am not sure how I would have felt if we had to share our school with Mt. Vernon or Groveton   Hope you're doing ok Ms. Burdette/Ms. Mills right - Stephen Foster?  thanks, jimmy

Ms. Burdette - best grammer teacher ever!   I don't remember much about the other schools, other than being uncomfortable and inconvenienced... looking back, I suppose they were as well!
