Wanda, Wayne, and family,
I was born in June of 1948 in Terry, Montana. We attended schools in Miles City together from the beginning at the old Garfield School. As a teacher, my life is dedicated by the 36 weeks of the school year. Donnie explained the 36 week calender to me. It was a beautiful spring day when Donnie explained to me the school year was near the end of the school year. Our spelling workbook had 36 lessons.We were on lesson like 25 or 26. Donnie was in count down mode. Great memory, whenever I am thinking of nine week grades, semester grades. I also think of Donnie teaching me the school year is 36 weeks. Remember the good times.
