This picture has the title "The Training School-Teacher's College-Greeley." I had always heard it called just the Greeley State Teacher's College. I do know it was in Greeley, Colorado. I wish I had asked Nana more about this. I'm pretty sure Nana went to school here. What I don't know is: how long did she go there; did she graduate from here; did she get a credential from here; did she teach in Colorado before she moved to California; did California accept her work from this college; etc. I think she would have attended here after my Grandfather, her husband Bruce, died. How did she pay for this college work? Where did she stay while she went here? And, many, many more questions. For now, I have to let it alone. The only thing I think I know is that she went here at some point for some time. I am guessing that Aunt Maude went here too, but that is pure conjecture. I love you Nana and Aunt Maude. By the way, sometimes I mention Aunt Phyllis. She was Nana and Aunt Maude's sister. There was another sister, Aunt Ethyl. Their maiden name was Hamblen. When Aunt Phyllis married her married name was Magee. Aunt Ethyl was Ethyl Reynolds I think. It makes me think she married a man named Reynolds, but I don't think I ever knew him. Aunt Maude lived with Nana all her life I think, certainly after my grandfather died. Aunt Ethyl lived by herself in Reedley in a tiny little house. She never socialized with the rest of us. Not sure why. I never knew about any hostility there. I used to go over to her house once in a while. This would have been during my Junior High years and my freshman year at Reedley High School. (The Junior High School was called General Grand Junior High School. It was a beautiful old school house. I'm guessing somebody condemned it for school use and while I went there we were housed in the local armory while our new school was built. I think I spend one year in the new building, probably 8th grade.) I think the building was sold to some church or other.
