I went to school grades 1-4 (1953-1957) at Concordville School. Mrs. Ramage was my Principal. In addition to her shooting prowess, she was quite tall. No kids messed with her.

My family lived right next door to the school. You could see my mother in the kitchen while standing in the Principal's office. Mrs. Ramage also knew her because, as an RN, she helped to give polio shots to my classmates.

Members here will be stunned to learn that, although close, Entropychaser was not the most famous student to warm a seat at Concordville. That title belonged to legendary Rock-and Roll icon Bill Haley who went to school there in the 1930's I got to meet him and get his autograph in 1956 when he was at a school reunion.
