Page 81 In 1927 Charles Lindberg crossed the atlantic in the Spirit of St. Louis. This was a big day in Huron. Of course there were no TV's and very few radios so a crowd gathered in front of the Huronite building and watched and listened to the news as it came over the AP wires. Lindberg had just done what most everyone thought impossible. Cathie was graduated from College that spring. She, like Minneatta, was an A student and graduated with honors. She was Pow-wow princess which is a top honor of Huron College. I, on the other hand, was bitter with the whole high school system. I had fiddled while Rome burned and was a year behind the class I started with. I'd been a fool and still was. Ma would have stayed in Huron two more years to put me through high school but I wouldn't listen when school was out we all packed up and moved back to Okobojo. Did we find it the same as when we had left it three years before? |
