While building a spec house there, I came upon the old foundation which caused quite a problem for me in laying some utility lines. I also uncovered what seemed to be part of the chassis of an old model t. It was too imbedded to unearth though. I did get quite a collection of old bottles which were thrown out by the school and possibly added to by the 8 ball club which sat to the downhill side. Most of the bottles were medicine or liquor, but some were food I believe. I am interested in the history of this area and would like to know more about the school. Do you have any pictures? I would also wonder what your relatives house within the school looked like. All of Clifton Terrace interests me. I am also interested in your father, Erwin Thompson. His tractor looks like mine. I still use mine and do much of the same things he does. I maintain and rent houses and spend a lot of time clearing brush and brush hogging. I would be interested in any tips he could give me, as at times I feel like I would like to know more.
