Elizabeth Bradley Elementary School, 1946-52 |
|
| On the route I usually took from home to school, a couple of blocks of Kenwood Avenue were unpaved. Can’t rightly recall whether any houses then fronted the dirt road. From this angle (looking north from the end of the street), one can’t tell for sure whether any do now. |
| When the seasonal Santana winds would blast down out of Cajon pass, they could make that segment of the trip home into a bit of an adventure. |
| This story may have grown in the telling, but I recall (or have confabulated) a day when I was plodding northward on Kenwood, leaning steeply forward with squinted eyes, when a huge roll of tumbleweeds bore down on me. Either it knocked me down, or I saw it in time to flatten. In either case, the story goes, my little aluminum lunch-box went bouncing away with the tumbling tumbleweed, never to be seen again. |
