****Note:
Aunt Dot Minner went to college with Mother. They started teaching together in the fall of 1932 at the old Odessa School House. The children helped them move the the new Odessa School that still stands between the north and southbound lanes of Route 13. Mother said that the children all brought their red express wagons, loaded up the classroom supplies, and pulled them down the streets of Odessa. The two orange crate book shelves came from Odessa school. (The ones I painted red and white many years later that are still in our basement.) I wonder if those orange crate bookshelves went down the street on the express wagons with the rest of the stuff. What a vision--kids, wagons, books, Miss Wallace and Miss Minner all lugging supplies down the street, books piled high, a few papers flying away, laughing, and fussing a little about all the work.
The gigly girls lived together in the Corbet Sharp House in Odessa as early twenty somethings (Mother turned 20 in February and Aunt Dot in July). They started teaching in September.
Aunt Dot was an educator for 40 years. She left Odessa and went to A.I.DuPont School in Wilmington. The last 15 years she was the principal. She retired in 1972 and moved to Wyoming. She and Uncle Carl were lifelong special friends. She died in the spring of 2010. She was 97.
