MODEL CITIZENS
It was that dreaded time of the year – back to school shopping week. The warm days of summer with its sweet smell of freedom lingering over every day like a fresh baked apple pie expelling its cinnamon scented aroma through the windowsill were counting down like a doomsday clock.

SECOND SATURDAY
SECOND SATURDAY I was six years old when I figured out – with what unformed brain I had a the time - that my week consisted of two Saturdays. This all due to my forced attendance in the First Grade Class at Margaret Wellman Elementary School. It was the first time I experienced life outside the home mainly because in 1956 it was not yet fashionable or widespread for kids to attend kindergarten or even day care and as a result, my life until First Grade was an endless vacation. Ahh! Each day was a new one with the opportunity to just be a kid with no concept of time or responsibility. When I entered First Grade though, things changed. I learned quickly that Monday was the real start of my week - not Sunday as Dad's Olson's Feed and Grain calendars stated - and Friday was my new very best friend. That was the END OF THE WEEK in my mind. Then I had three days off until Monday returned.

Now and Then on the 7:15 from Barstow
NOW AND THEN ON THE 7:15 FROM BARSTOW NOW We successfully uncoupled the last of the passenger coaches just south of Victorville.
