clearfieldschool

From Ron and Linda Garrett Wright:
Above is the rural schoolhouse near our home that Ron’s mother, grandmother and aunts attended when they lived in the house we now live in, in the Clearfield area. Ron and I have been working for years to save this beautiful building. We’ve recently been given grants by Douglas County...HERE for more.

Many of you may remember Marilyn Chamney Lee's family home and dairy farm west of KU. Family members came together this past week (Oct. 10-15, 2010) for a reunion at the old dairy farmstead, which was acquired by the Kansas University Endowment in 1963. HERE for the LJW article and videos.

A look at LHS today: A video class at LHS made this "LHS Winter Court Lip Dub". Though the music may not be familiar this is a wonderful opportunity to see what the interior of LHS is like today. Only some scenes outside the windows look familiar. Go to http://www.youtube.com/
