Back in Greensburg!

Here things are not so clear.  I know Mom did not remember much of anything that happened that summer, and I don't think I do either! (Daddy died on Friday of the Memorial Day weekend, I think) We stayed with Aunt Ruth and Uncle Don since they had plenty of room.+

Ginger and I went out to Hugoton to Aunt Ann and Uncle Skeet's to help with some things Annie needed done!  We tarred a chicken house roof and painted rooms inside the house. We also met some charming young men! And learned about Soap Operas!

I had applied and been accepted into the nursing program at the University of Michigan.  That was no longer in the plans.  A group of K.U. Alumni started a scholarship fund for me.  At that time, any student who had graduated from a Kansas High School could attend a state college or university. (That is why they had "Freshman Flunk-out Courses....to weed out the more unlikely candidates for degrees!) So I was accepted and by virtue of John and Virginia Conard's fund raising , I was able to pay for the first semester. FYI, the tuition was $104 per semester and my books were less than $100. I worked at the dorm cafeteria for $.60 an hour, and made enough to pay my dorm fees! Lots of hours...nearly all the hours that I was not in class I was working.

I am not sure when Mom bought the house on Walnut. I don't remember coming home for vacations to Aunt Ruth's. Here I am beating myself up because I don't remember....for goodness sake, it was 50 years ago!
I am  hoping that my brother can help me out here. PLEASE!
