I was a teacher at Brown School in l947-48 and l948-49, and after a year of reconnecting with several former students, a few of us met last month by the renovated HY&T Museum/Depot for a mini-reunion and Museum tour, the latter arranged by Paul Hilger. It was an afternoon of reminiscing, and recalling nostalgic memories of our 1-room school days 60 years ago. Besides Paul, Bob Kuelper, Jack Kuelper, and Ray Meier came, along with several wives. Mike Shere drove up from Arkansas, and we had a good visit the previous day, before he headed back. Though I've had email contacts with the former Beverly and Lolabelle Hansen and Carol Hartweg, they couldn't attend. Does anyone have any old photos of Brown School as it looked back then? I need one for my photo album and scrapbook. Phyllis Kay Begens

Hi Phyllis,
How wonderful that you got together! If you have any photos of the reunion, I will be happy to post them. I think we may have a photo of the Brown school. Let me check the museum. I will post it if we do.
