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.
