Children from Our One-Room Schools

I helped my mom and some other people from my hometown publish a local history book about what it was like to attend the one-room schools in that area from 1880 to 1955. People who live or have lived in the community wrote their own stories (some of them are pretty funny) and donated a ton of photos for the book, which is being sold by the Blocksburg Town Hall Association as a fundraiser. The Town Hall will use the money to maintain the historic church and school house. I think some of the money also goes to the scholarship fund.

I haven’t worked in print since my days at my college newspaper, so I got Frew to help me with the templates for the book. He also designed a beautiful cover from photographs of a 1930s-era quilt that had been given to a teacher at the Blocksburg School. It went down the Eel River in the 1964 flood, but someone miraculously found it, cleaned it, and pieced it back together.
