Thread Name: One Room Country Schools
Subject: RE: One Room Country Schools
Chex29, I will ask my dad, as he went to one on Garfield "Crick" in Colorado and he has been making music all of his life.

Kath! I grew up going to Marble, CO to visit all of the time, and have a piece of marble from there that weighs about 150lbs, which my ex pulled out of the river for me. We plan to use it for my mom's grave marker this year. It was one of her favourite places and it seems fitting to place it there in New Castle.

I have a wonderful picture of her mom, my grandma, on her horse, bundled up against the Colorado winter, outside the one room schoolhouse she taught in. I will go through her memoir and see what she had to say about music while teaching,for she wrote quite a bit about those days and music was very important to her.

This is going to be a fun and very interesting thread. Thank you, Chex29.
