Born on a dairy farm right on the shores of Lake Michigan, I quickly learned what cold was and we learned at an early age how to deal with that, keep moving and move fast! That tends to keep you warm.
Our farm was located adjacent to the city of Algoma, so, because of our proximity to the city, the school bus would not pick us up, so we walked to school. I attended St. Paul's Lutheran School which was about a 2 mile walk each way. When it was cold, I would walk faster and faster so soon I'd be running. Running is something I have enjoyed all my life, still do it now, only on a treadmill, looking out the window at the snow.
I attended went to Algoma High School and graduated in 1963 (see (Algomahighschool.com). On the weekend of August 3rd, 2014, we celebrated our 50th reunion of the class of 1963. We had a very close-knit group from our class and experienced 70% turnout of those still alive from our class in attendance. Surprisingly, 17 of our classmates have already departed the world.
A few months after graduating from High School, I moved to New York City to take a job with Eastern Airlines. What a culture shock that was! From Kewaunee County with a total population of some 19,000 to Manhattan.
