You went to school??

Proud to say...I went all the way up to the 5th grade.  They wanted to hold me back in the 4th grade, but they didn't me to be in the same grade as my Daddy was.   ;D

I remember Bob Uecker saying that the 5th grade was the best 6 years of his life.
Then asked if the other kids made fun of him. He said no and in fact, he was the only 5th grader to have his own parking space.

Cool photo.  I desperately wanted to buy this one but it ended up in a museum in Az.  It's a 1923 Chevy.
