This used to be the Principal’s office (James Sinclair). If those walls could talk…

Follett no longer teaches band, but these are the cabinets where we used to keep our instruments.

George Trenfield in blue, Ellen Laubhan in black dress, Clay Wynn can just barely be seen at far right edge.

Sheryl Kliewer Boone, Rita Frazier Pinckard, Carol Kliewer Cook. (Clifford Cook died 4-5 years ago after suffering many years after a debilitating stroke.)

One cold winter day in 1956, at this stock tank, Randy, Tommy, & I were sliding a stick back & forth to each other on the thin ice that covered it. At one point, the stick was too far for me to reach. Wearing my heavy, hooded winter coat, I stretched out, slipped over the side and fell completely thru. When we reached the house, about a block away, Doneva laughed so hard she was slow to let me in.

Follett’s very old jail in the SE corner of the old fire station.

West wall of old fire station.

South wall of old fire station looking east. Rear of Champlin Service can be seen across the alley.

East wall of old fire station.

North edge of Lipscomb, looking west from Wolf Creek bridge. I’ve never seen this much flow except during very heavy rains.
