awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww the good old days of walking to school in yesteryear(Class of 1959)I can remeber them days ,just like they was yesterday sometimes now in my old age.It just wasn't a couple of blocks or so,as i lived in south McCook,just about as far south as a person could get and still be in the cith limits.I started to walking in 1949 and the path across the old base ball field was well worn in by then .First walked to east ward ,then central high ,and then the big school way over on top of the hill in west McCook ,seems like every school was getting farther away and longer to walk ,enough to where i'd wear out my shoes every year,because dad would always get us kids a brand new pair the start of school year,until they was broke in ,man did they hurt.I can remember every time i would start to gripe about how far school was ,he'd always tell me he walked from way back in the country every day and used his shoe heel for an eraser.So KIDS when you have to walk maybe if your lucky ,just maybe 2 or 3 times in your school year ,just think of us older folks that had to walk it every day for the entire school year,,,,,,,,,,be nice
