That was in the early 1960s in Pearl City, Hawaii.

I too had to walk to school, I looked up the distance to confirm that I was abused.
When your legs are short, sure seemed longer than a mile , but in reality it is 1.1 miles, if you walk the direct route, but since when do kids ever do that???

1st day of school.
