Old Leadville (Colorado) School...

Last Year we had a photo of a red school bell that we found in our travels of June, 2003, near Leadville, Colorado and shared in Vol. V, Iss. 25 - The OkieLegacy.

This week we heard from someone who shared some information about that old school building that sets south of Leadville. This photo is looking towards the South edge of Leadville along the main north-south highway towards the little red school with bell on top, on the east side of main highway.

We find out that this old building was a school building and it is still in its original location -- southend of Leadville, Colorado.  Our reader's mother was the school secretary there for a couple of years in the early 1940s.  Her older sister did the 1st and 2nd grades there.  This school was originally painted all white and remained white for most of its years.  It was only recently painted red.  You can read her message in the Mailbag Corner.

As to Grandma's German Thrieviel Sup... We are still not sure what Thrieviel's are, but this reader writes, "Just had to write to let you know that these noodles were also one of my mother's family recipes. She called them crumb noodles. These were made on Christmas and Thanksgiving, we looked forward to them all year. I make them now but they never seem as good as when my mother made them. I have not found to many people who have ever heard of them."
