OT: Just sharing

For those of you that have never seen or realized there are some really small towns in California...here is proof (pop.about 87). This is the Elementary School I went to until I was 12. It's name is and was Poverty Hill Elementary.

One room, one teacher, most of the time we had really good teachers,but there was one BIG exceptions and she was a total basket case (ended up in the State Hospital)Maybe it was dealing with 25-30 wild kids.LOL Some of us were rough...Oh and it was grades 1-8.

WOW! Thats in Jamestown? And was the population 87 when you where 12?

No that is in Stent about 3.5 miles from Jamestown. And the population isn't much more than that now. BUt Stent was 87 when I was 12. I know cause I counted everyone! LOL

Don't let Joy kid you, Jamestown is in a beautiful part of our state.  Of course the main center of town I think is 3 blocks long with a frosty freeze at the end, according to which way you enter, but what a nice little town.  How do I know this, my hubby was born in Jamestown.  In the hospital, that turned into a bus depot which is now the hotel.  Small world. 

Keep breathing that clean air, and keep looking for gold Joy.  There has got to be some left.

Hugs, Diane

There's lots of gold up here still.Just gotta know where to look.
You muct be talking about the Jimtown Frosty. Joan Oliver owned and it had great BBQ sandwiches there. She sold it now it sucks. Jamestown is a cute little town. And Sonora 3.5 mile further up the hill is beautiful.
Oh Diane...Mom wants to know who your DH is to see if she might know him.

Oh gosh, traffic in Senora SUCKS!  But yes it is also very nice.  Dougs dad and step mom lived in Twain Harte for a long time and then moved in Toulomme, I think I butchered that name.  His dad lived there till he died 8 years ago. Matter of fact last we heard Doug step-brothers still own a transmisson shop in Senora. I don't know if your mom would know Doug, he will be 67 this April, so he was born in the nice little town in 42.  His last name is Crawford.  He moved to East LA when he was 4.

That looks like the two-room school house on Cowell Rd in Concord, CA, which is where I began my academic career in 1951.  It still had outhouses!  Sigh, long gone now, as well as is the small town of Concord (now a major metropolis) where I spent many a blissful morning at the Saturday morning matinee in the Enen theater, across from the city park and the library, watching Captain Cody and the Three Stooges and listening to the screaming and yelling that went on.  I could never hear a word of the movie's dialogue!

A much simpler, kinder time!

Yeah, Concord grew up, we are still pretty small up here but I like it that way.
