Our farm was in Sperry, Adair County, MO. Sperry consisted of our house, my grandparents house, two neighbors, the one room school I attended (complete with outhouses), the general store my grandfather owned, and the Baptist Church, all clustered around a crossroads.
What else could a boy need in the late 1950s? My parents moved there in 1951 and lived there until my fathers death in 2000.
