		Donated by Glenda Bell from Windsor, CO Postcard found by Glenda Bell as she was sorting through things belonging to her grandmother, Jessie Wirt. Glenda writes, "My dad (Bud) lived with his parents, Gus and Jessie Wirt, in Noel when he was 10 years old. Gus worked on bridge construction in Noel. Bud took off and walked to a bridge construction site to see his dad who was not happy with him. That is when Jessie and Gus discovered that Bud had never enrolled in school. The school thought there were two Wirt children of school age but there were three!"
