Mrs. Elder's Apple Rolls
From Holly
My kindergarten
teacher, Mrs. Elder, loved children and teaching. Everyday in her class was an
adventure but I think the highlight for all of us were trips to her farm. She
and her husband had a large wheat farm and lots of farm animals. Each fall she
took her class to the farm and her students would visit all the animals, churn
butter and
have
a wonderful time. Now 50 years later, my other kindergarten
schoolmates still talk about the trip to the farm. She taught for many years in
a small one room building adjacent to the larger school building. My husband's
favorite memory of her is seeing her drive into the local McDonald's (she was in
her late 80s by then) in a huge pickup truck, complete with dual wheels, and her
head visible just above the dashboard.
