I traveled over that bridge many times. <br />the school you mentioned is probably the one where my Dad, John W. Manners Jr. taught at least one or two terms back in the 20s. My grandparents house is still standing (barely) in the middle of a field on the opposite side of the highway (west of Lucas) My grandfather, John W. Manners Sr. was a circuit riding Methodist preacher who went to KS from N.J. before the turn of the century. He wrote MANY articles which were printed in the Lucas newspaper. <br />Clarence Kirby (a cousin) was a teacher in Osborne in the 40s - but your pic looks too young for you to have known him. <br />I could go on about things I remember from this part of the world. Have lived in TX for the past 57 years. Still miss KS but not the harsh winters.Elaine Hydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768747295176546621noreply@blogger.com
