Dianne (Heiden) Houpt - Did they shut the
Bridge School down at some point?
Ralph Heiden - I think kids went there through the late 1940's before they
were bussed to Dundee.
Dianne (Heiden) Houpt - I went a half a year there before going up to Dundee.
Helen (Henning) Heiden - I remember when you were little, you missed the bus once and
went running behind it, bawling like mad.
Dianne (Heiden) Houpt -
 Ralph, do you remember that we started out with the red,
white and blue buses and then the yellow ones came along later. At
school, they never seemed to line them up the same place every
night. They would line up in the order that the drivers happened to
pull up. Some nights, we would get lost.
Ralph Heiden - I remember having Wes Feinauer as a driver. One day, I was
showing off acting like I wanted to thumb a ride as he pulled up.
For some reason he didn’t like that and made me sit in the front
seat for a week. I was probably only in the second grade and it
scared me.
Dianne (Heiden) Houpt - He came to the back of the bus and escorted me to the front
seat one time. I saw him years later and he said he wanted to laugh
all the time while he was doing it but didn’t dare in front of the
other children. |
