Little Robert in the Second Grade, 1950 at Stanford Elementary School.

I remember all of these kids. We had a wonderful time. Small classes, great teachers, lots of testing. I walked about a mile to and from school every day, perfectly safe back then. Jimmy Finch and I knew the Stanford campus like the backs of our hands. Swimming lessons in the Stanford pool every summer. We have been to the top of the Hoover Tower a million times. I chased the discus after school for Olympic champion (1948/1952) Bob Mathias and never missed a Stanford football game.
