I also enjoyed reading about you time there, and I'm sorry you had to worry.

I enjoy reading about school experiences of others. It is interesting to read about what has changed and what has remained the same.

Sadly Pat money was always a worry for many families . Here it was pretty miserable in the past. I remember my Mum telling me her Father was killed in the First war and it took 6weeks before her mother received the widows pension . There were gentry as they were called then folk who lived in big houses in all villages. The lady of that house lost both sons. She did lend support until the pension came through pitiful though it was. The same lady sent a basin of dripping each week, as my Grandmother kept her children so neat. I expect it was because she had been apprenticed to the millinery trade. Not much good when one had a child ever year.

In high school, I rebelled against certain lines in the Pledge, and for a while against the whole thing as a great lie compared to how things really were for many, many people in America. Eventually, though, I realized that it is not a statement of how we are, but of an ideal we strive for. Never have said the 'under God' bit though, since that time.
