My grandfather use to tell me about walking 6 miles to school when he was a kid. I actually visit the old homestead and drove the distance to the one room school house in Calais VT. It was 5.7 miles.

My Dad use to walk from White Oaks Road to Laconia High School. That was over 3 miles.

I use to walk a mile from South Main Street to Laconia High school. I thought I was lucky. Today if you live a block or more from the high school you take the bus.

And everyone wonders why the kids today are obese and or lazy...............
