Note from Anita Rolenc Reid:  I went to school with Jeanette in Ulysses also.
Her parents and my parents were good friends and they were the first people from
Ulysses, Ne to move their children into St. Mary's grade and high school.
It was not a easy task, but they did it together and none of them ever regretted it.
They were pioneers, hard working people and their children came First.
