[or-roots] Mrs. Marker and Foster school

[Eugene Barnes]

  I had already had several year of elementary schooling when I stayed with my grandparents
  in Porland, and attended Arleta Grammar School, the fall semester of 1939.  I had a 
  teacher who had taught my mother.  In my day, you had to know your math to about
  15 x15 and show both sides of your hands
  were clean, just to get into class.  The only
  over memory of the school, was that it was
  brick, and there study hall, was an octagonal
  faced, glassed in room, with a shedding stuffed owl and National Geographic 1929
  issues.  In California in '39 we had portables.
  Too much sand in the concrete mix, and
  brick schools were sunject to the San Andreas fault.

    Hi Rooters:



    My education began in 1945 at Foster, OR.  The teacher for grades 1-3 was Mrs. Marker.  She did not drive to school because she lived across the street from the school. (If you look through my web pages you will find a photo of her.)



    In 1943 my father bought what was left of the J. Shea homestead from Mr. Marker.  Most of that land is now under water created by the Foster Dam Lake.  Ouch!
