 hn> That would be a fun trip...Wyoming is another state that is

I can imagine!  Is it beef country up there or what?

It was harder to just be part of the wall paper in my school.  It was
small enough that we all knew everybody in the high school, a lot of the
middle school kids and even a number of elementary ones.  I  struggled
in math and Latin, did OK in science & history but best subject was
English. But, I did well enough to graduate #12 out of 63.  Didn't take
Home Ec after junior high but took the Betty Crocker Homemaker of
Tomorrow test (at the time for senior girls) and walked off with the
award.

Sounds like Steve with language school. He did OK but it really
connected when he went TDY to Germany the year before we moved over
