You are welcome to the pictures I sent in. But the comely photographer who accompanied me was actually Miss Kathleen G., a descendant of New Hampshire Yankee hunting and farming stock.

Before her father passed away in his 90s (a WW II SeeBee, Pacific Theatre) I recorded his experiences going to a one-room school-house in rural NH.

The pupils hunted on the way to and from school, and at RECESS! (No fellow students were ever shot.)

I will pass your thanks on to her.

Default rural New Hampshire, 1930s

Scott:

The town in New Hampshire that Richard Gray, born in 1918, grew up and attended school in was Northfield. The family lived near Sondogarty Pond and owned no automobile, so he would have walked to the one-room school house.

I asked him what the teacher was doing while they were outside at recess shooting. He said that the teacher was inside correcting papers or eating lunch; and so long as she heard gun-fire she considered all was well. It was only if the gunfire stopped that she suspected they might be doing something they shouldn't, and she would go outside to investigate.

All this is implausible to modern ears, but I taped him saying this at the kitchen table some years ago; and once offered a copy to the NRA, which seemed not too interested.
