Moved to where there was one, but on a dollar an hour, it was an impossible dream. That was the going wage out of high school then. After paying rent, telephone and food there was nothing left to save for college.
Never did get there, got married, moved to where there was no local college and no places of employment had children and that was that.
A town of 250 with 2 grocery stores, 2 garages leaves no place to work.
