Some of the most promising are alcoholic, some are dead, but most naturally have done OK. How could anyone foresee that Alvina Hesner, back for a visit in 196?, would die in a car wreck 12 miles away, or that Harden Hanby of sturdy stock would die in middle age? Bessie Baker at Nampa always sends a Christmas card. She continued to teach all her life and is now up to retirement age. Thirty-seven years go by and Norman Hansen is the only one still living in the valley, but not so far away are Delma Hesner, Charles Holland, George Hansen, Martha Hansen, Mildred and Doris Hanby, Wilma Riley. Wilma has an outstanding family, Delma, too. How different was Ivor and Bill Wilson! Max made the navy his career. We keep in touch with Haden Sears and Edna Barnett. Here are 31 pupils. If there were a school at McEwen now, there would be only 10 pupils. If they looked for where they used to live, only Hansen, Sears, and Riley would find their houses still there. The others, Barnett, Browning, Holland, Hesner, and those who lived at the logging camp at Curry, can come for a visit and fish or water ski over where they used to live [due to Mason Dam and Phillips Reservoir, which filled in 1968]. |
