Happy Birthday, Bill!

Pomfret No. 4 School, where I learned some of life's most important lessons:
Reading, writing, arithmetic and citizenship.

A very happy birthday to my brother Bill, for whom Plainfield might as well be on the far side of the moon -- living as he does in hot, sunny and dry Tucson, Arizona, with my lovely sister-in-law Barbara (BJ to all).

His present this year was two vintage photographs: one of the three-room country school we attended as kids (Town of Pomfret School No. 4, Laona, NY) and a photo of his teacher, Mrs. Hortense Ellis, with her Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students.

Mrs. Ellis' 'Room', 1948.

Many happy returns!
