Willie, John, Maxine, Claude, and Gordon, around 1936
Many years ago, I was looking through Grandma’s scrapbooks and found a ticket stub. When I asked her about it, she told me about a time in grade school when a pilot came to the school and gave the students rides for a dollar each.
Mom mentioned that story to Grandma’s brother. He said that she must have imagined it, attributing it to the early effects of dementia.
When preparing for Grandma’s 90th birthday party, Mom solicited stories about her from friends and family. Her childhood friend, Cleo, sent an email with a story about riding in an airplane when they were in grade school!
