Old West, New West Video: Ranch Family - "Boarding Out"

http://westernfolklife.org In rural places, ranch families have a tough decision to make when their kids finish elementary school and the nearest high school is in town an hour or two away. This is the story of the Wright family, and their decision to split up: with mom and the kids moving to town and dad working the ranch alone. An Old West New West video by Glynis Wright, Tuscarora NV and Susan Church, North Fork NV.

Oh My, been there done that know all the feelings of that seperation. I did luck out and was able to go home on weekends. (I had started high school at 12 graduated at 16). I Twelve when I started was working nights setting pins at a bowling alley to help pay my way. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
