I remember Dad telling his children, “If you get in trouble at school, you’re going to be in twice as much trouble when you get home.” Dad was strict and we knew that he meant what he said, so we obeyed the teacher and did what we were told. Most students who I attended school with also stayed on the straight and narrow most of the time. The incident that I am sharing here happened at Rush School, which was located on the southwest corner of West River and Lincicum Roads in Cadiz Township.
