As the Head Teacher in Adel from 1977-1982, I thoroughly enjoyed "Hole in the Sky", and some of the characters and folks Bill wrote about were still alive.  It was a time that will always stay with me-- the Warner Valley is an incredible place.  The old levy failed one wet Spring, and the valley flooded once again.  It took several months to dry the place out, and the mosquitoes were especially bad!!!
