Alumni regroup at the end of the rainbow

Mom, Dick and Sosie take a rainbow ride.
Mom has a doctor's appointment this morning and who should pull up in the Rainbow Rider taxi service to escort her to it? Driver Dick Halstead, a country school classmate from the long ago one-room-school days in Lake Mary Township south of Alexandria.
Sosie, who is spending the week with Mom at her Alexandria assisted living home, sent this photo and caption:
Here is Dickie Halstead of District 24 country school helping Mom into the Rainbow Rider. Dickie was wearing Dickies jeans and regrets not starting the company. We got special service, with a drive past the Coffee Pot cafe, to ensure they would be open for our lunch after the doctor.

(Question for Oak Grove classmates. Wasn't Dick the gifted one who could free hand beautiful horses and other things? The brothers were Tom, Dick and Gary, right?)
