In PE during fourth grade, we played hockey indoors in the school gymnasium which I enjoyed greatly. One of the first real-event stories I would tell as a young boy was about the day two players hit the puck from opposite directions, sending the puck sailing skyward and hitting the ceiling of the gym. My 9 year old brain saw that as an exciting story. It was only after telling the story a few times did I realize that no one else found it exciting. It gave me a data point as to what makes a great story.
I'm not sure if "went to the library" referred to the GFAFB library (Building 201) or the Twining school library. It was likely the Twining library as we only went to Building 201 a few times in four years. At the Twining library, I checked out books on Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler, and Thomas Edison.
