Your film brought back great memories for me. I taught at Fulton and Caston in the 1960s. Torg, Casey, and Kenny were part of a faculty assembled to jump start a unique K-12 educational center resulting from the consolidation of four schools in two counties. I happened upon the doc as I looked for morel hunting info. I remember ordering them at burger spots in Rochester and Logansport.
I have retired from teaching and over three decades as a local history librarian and historian in southern Indiana. I divide my time between Louisville, KY and Wilmington, NC. Keep up the great storytelling, William.

So great to hear from you Susan. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Now that we’re going to be back in Indiana, I hope dad and I will be able to find mushrooms together again.
