Miss Bass...sigh of longing... Oh, Miss Bass. I remember an election bulletin board with Nixon and McGovern photos and thinking it was cool to choose a new leader. Miss Bass seemed like a McGovern girl. She was so into the environment, our voice, and equality. Those ideas were warm and infectious. Miss Bass got married the following Summer...sigh of sadness. Fire Drills were indeed a desired event.

You seem to have been in the cool-kids class. :)

Excellent point about not having fear. We didn't do duck-and-cover and we didn't even know the term active shooter. We had fire drills, just in case... mostly in case of smoke, I suppose. There wasn't much flammable content in those buildings.
