I grew up on a town so small, we finally got a caution light at the intersection of US 42 and Us 29 the year I graduated from High school. I also went all 12 years to the same school and in the same buildings we had the day I started school. My first grade teacher, Mrs. McSwain was there the night of my graduation.
