Fifty Years ago!

Fifty years ago this week, the family pictured at left made the big move from Maxwell, Nebraska to Central City, Nebraska. The quality of the photo is not very good as it was copied from the 1961 yearbook of Nebraska Christian High School. I don't know about the rest of the family, but this move seemed especially significant as most of my memories of childhood are from this point forward. It is amazing to think that half a century has passed. The picture is taken in front of Hord Hall which was our home for the first 1 1/2 years. I would be interested to hear some comments from my sisters of this time in our lives.





The other memory I have of this move was all of the snow, especially when we drove onto the campus of Nebraska Christian High School. I don't know of any pictures of those days but the scenes near Lincoln this year remind me of what the roads were like in January 1960. The walls of snow seemed to tower over our car. It was awesome! It would have been a year or two later, but do you remember Mr. Ruybalid pulling us on the hood of a car as a sled behind his Jeep pickup? Those were the days!
