Miss Logan (my teacher) had to pass by my parents' business (a dry cleaners) on her way to school, so it was easy for her to pick me up. Anyway, she seemed to like me for some reason. She also took another teacher to the same school. My parents paid her five dollars a week to haul me there and back - lots more money in the mid-50's than it is now.
