Eons ago, when I was very young, my parents
needed something for me to do during the
summer. In many southern towns the
main activity to keep out-of-school children busy was Bible School. And that
was how I was introduced that that far off and exotic place called Retta, a
whopping two miles from home. I think I went to three or four of these
entertaining and instructional week-long events, but what I remember most from
my sojourn to Retta was that we were outside most of the time to do crafts and
sing songs since none of the buildings of the Retta Baptist Church was air
conditioned.
