[today: rest day]
In 7th grade I went to Wilson Junior High in Des Moines. It was on University street, where the corporate HQ for AE Dairy is now. It was an old building then. My father and maternal grandfather had also attended there I believe.
The english teacher was this old skinny guy. At least he seemed old to me then.
I was thinking about him today. On facebook people have been posting things related to the WW2 holocaust and the concentration camps. I think it was the last day of school, he passed around some very graphic pictures, snapshots of piles of bodies. He told us about “liberating” a concentration camp. He said that even then there were some people trying to say it never happened.
After 7th grade I started at a different school and never saw Mr. Drake again.
