Featured Story

Covert Critter Companions

As I was reading about the Envoy school chair in The Antiques Corner section of this update, my mind flashed back to third grade at St. Michael's Elementary School in my hometown. I loved my new desk. It had an opening facing the seat -- not a hinged lid like the one I had in second grade. And my chair was not connected to the desk so I could move it around as I pleased. This was progress for an antsy child! Plus, my new desk allowed me to utilize my quirky imagination to the fullest.

Saving the Sugar Daddy

By David Cody Prewitt

The year was 1952, and I was in Miss Alice Pulliam’s first-grade class at Chaplin Elementary School, which was located in the small town of Chaplin in Nelson County, Ky.
