"In
case you're wondering--a blizzard plus snow drifts forced postponement of
school here. Mrs. Sanders told me that
someone had called to that effect this morning. She shouted up the stairs while I was still in
bed. At the time I didn't know whether
it was true or a New Year's prank.
Subconsciously I thought perhaps some students who didn't want to go to
school were trying to sabotage the day's program by phoning up all the
teachers.... Despite my unduly suspicious nature, I rolled over to get an extra
hour of sleep."
--Letter
from my father, Protection, Kans., to my mother, Hutchinson, Kans., Thursday
evening, January 1, 1948.
