My great aunt (grandmas little sister) lived one block away and was a grade school teacher. I had the alphabet and numbers down before first grade (sugar rock candy is a great motivator for a little boy). First book she gave me was Sherlock Holmes.
I thank the Lord I was educated in the 60s and 70s.

Ditto, and it was a public school for me but back then it was geared to get you prepped for at least junior college.

Me, too. NY state now is an educational hell hole, but in the ‘50s and ‘60s when I was there, it kicked ass. I appreciate the education I got there.
