Larry and I and Billy Hedges were in First Grade together at Farwest Country School 12 miles southeast of Cameron. We were 3 of 12 students in grades 1 through 8.
My parents were friends of his parents and we shopped at Kerr Store (Larry’s parents place of business). I remember Saturday night outdoor movies in the summer.
We both entered second grade in Cameron when Farwest closed and consolidated. Our neighbor, Claude Hunt drove our school bus for our “hour ride” to school. Sometime during our elementary years we had an “end of the school year” picnic out at Kerr Store.
Everyone enjoyed that!
The last time that I saw Larry was at our 50th High School reunion in 2013. We do have such good memories!!
In loving memory!
Judy (Helm) and Jim Cook
