Glenna walked to grade school, which was up in the field behind her house in Masardis. In the seventh grade her school was across the bridge, and in high school her dad drove the bus so she would ride his bus for a little ways before an Ashland bus would pick her up from there. They also had to walk to church. The family didn’t really use the car.
