What can I say about Franksville?

It wasn’t Mayberry, but I wasn’t Opie.

Some of the things I remember about Franksville are:

  • Starting my academic career at Franksville Grade School
  • Walking a-mile-and-a-half to school unless the weather was bad
  • Visiting the bookmobile on Thursdays after school
  • Typing up church bulletins at Franksville Methodist Church
  • Going to the Kraut Festival every July at Franksville Park
  • Buying baseball cards at Don’s Food Store
  • Getting my hair cut at Clem’s Barber Shop
  • Going ice skating on Gutknecht’s Pond
  • Learning to tie knots as a member of Troop 29

All in all, not too bad.
