This picture is of my sister Hazel with her students from Duncan Elementary School at the Casey County Fair in the fall of 1944. In the picture Hazel is at the end of the line, “trying to help Kirby Carman put his hat on”, she explained to me. Duncan School won first place for their school banner that year. In the picture it is carried by twin brothers Lloyd and Floyd Durham, who at one time lived in the house on Boone hill adjoining our farm. Lloyd and Floyd loved Hazel as a teacher. When she was moved and taught at Grove Ridge the next year (I think, it was), they went to Grove School. At least one of the brothers or perhaps both came to Hazel’s funeral, Donald told me.
