Arrived!

          The Brookings computer store called to say that the computer that I ordered has arrived. Plans are to go to the store first thing Monday. That way I'll have use of the old one over the weekend. Transferring the data from the old to new takes several hours. Hopefully the new one will be ready for use late Monday.

        The computer classes in Brookings County, Rural District 21 school, in the 1940s....ya, then. That school was pretty primitive. It was wired for electricity so there were lights. Water was from a cistern filled with rain water running off the roof. The pump was outside. Through my 4th grade year heat was from a coal stove. The next year that stove was replaced by an oil burner which was turned low overnight. There was no telephone.  One teacher taught eight grades, and during my years there there were about tweleve students. During 6th, 7th and 8th grades the teacher lived with us.😞

Takk for alt,
