Charles,

Much thanks for sharing the picture. I do not have it.  It reminded me of how I LOVED Mrs. Wheeler, how I was scared when someone got paddled in the cloak room, and that Bill Bruce told me there was no Santa.  When I tried to argue with his position, he said there was no Easter Bunny either:-(  I am gald he was wrong.  The picture also reminded me  of learning to read, the fire escape, chocolate milk and 6th graders playing  with us on the playground - swinging us around - we were playing "statue" I think:-)

Thanks again, Charles.

Mary Ann

 Mary Ann:

Glad that you enjoyed it! I remember the chocolate milk and graham crackers. Do you remember the square glass bottles with the paper tops that had a cardboard disk? We used to make launchers from the tops and shoot the disks up and across the room. I remember the teacher choosing two boys to bring in the case of milk from the hall. I always wanted to slide down that fire escape chute. Sorry to hear about Santa! You know, I kind of remember that argument, but I didn't recall that it was Bill Bruce.

I think that it was Miss. Wheeler. In 1994 when Heather graduated from fifth grade at Hinkle Elementry in Noblesville, Marcia Wheeler spoke. She had retired recently. I was very surprised to see her.

Regards,

Charles
