Near-Normal Traveler, Vince, began his career in
education teaching science, coaching, and
picking up classes that no one else
was available to teach at the Everman School. Once he even got to teach an art
class because he was the only person who had instruction: it was a class he had
in high school! A few years after he taught at this school, I began my
education in this district. However, long before we entered the picture, the
area was common to the Apache, Kiowa and Wichita tribes until the mid-1850s
when the first Anglos arrived. They established two little hamlets, Oak Grove
and Enos. Although Enos is long gone, Oak Grove (see Flying in and out) is
still around.
