Title: Mail Box

"This was a big part of my high school days spent waiting in front of our house, across FM 138, waiting for the big yellow school bus to come and take us to school in Timpson, TX. We would go out before dawn, around 6:30AM to stand in all kinds of weather to wait for the bus and then we would travel up and down other country roads picking up more school children. We traveled every morning around 30 miles to get to school and then do the same return trip after school."

"The mailbox is located across the road from the Emanis Dog Trot on FM 138."
