The business community of Old Town Sherwood survived several kid-raids today. Much metal was collected for the War Effort, along with "zillions of business cards." Bill Maplethorpe dropped by to explain the things that really mattered.
This crop of 4th Graders was the last students in our school system who were born in the 1900s.
