Started first grade in Long Barn in 1947. Moved to Missouri in Dec.1954. Just wondering if anyone still living in that area was in school at that time. Some of the surnames I can remember are; Armstrong, Cover, Cromer, Hitch, Miller,Guinn, and Purdy, All would be in their late 60's now. Would love to hear from any of you.

Looking for history of Long Barn and, came across the history of Dodge Ridge Resort. I didn't know that Carl Purdy was the one who started building it. Their were several comments by his sons,George and Ralph Purdy. Ralph was in the same grade as I. George was a year or two older. Their mother Mary, was one of my teachers. She called me by my middle name of Leo, because, there were other boy's named Tom in her room. The school at that time consisted of two rooms. One room for grades, 1 thru 4 and, one for grades, 5 thru 8 .
