I grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. Bob’s mother, Matilda Barker, was Superintendent of Schools when I was in the second grade. She flunked me when I was in the second grade. I have kept my second grade report card, which has her name on it, as a souvenir. I was a Swiss immigrant child and my command of the English language was marginal. We lived in a sod house 4 miles NE of Mission. I attended the same group of wooden school buildings that Bob attended. We were equipped with cast iron wood burning stoves and outhouse restrooms. The Barkers left the reservation before I started the third grade, so I convinced my third grade teacher to let me proceed in the third grade. The reservation school system was quite good. I eventually earned BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering.<br />I agree with Bob, that growing up on the Rosebud Reservation was a great experience. I enjoyed many of the same experiences that he mentions in his book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-34098600718807970352009-07-07T10:50:46.192-04:002009-07-07T10:50:46.192-04:00I have this on audio, too.

Nothing flustered him when he hosted those shows.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
