Years later Roger was passing the school and noticed an abundance of good quality mushrooms growing in the school yard and took home a bushel. They also grew in fields in the area.

Pat's mom Ruby rode a horse and buggy to B.R.H.S. as she lived at Malott Park at the time. Near Allisonville Road & 56th Street.

She would put Tom the horse in a shelter behind the school. Before they could eat lunch, the children with horses in the stalls had to go and give them water and feed.

From the family home at 6331 Ferguson, which was a stones throw to the canal, a rabid dog walked up to the fire station and bit one of the Scott children who were passing by. The firemen heard the screams and ran out and destroyed the dog, got aid for the terrified little one and made arrangements for the shots he would have to receive. That was 1925. Just three years after Broad Ripple was annexed into Indianapolis and got better fire equipment.

Walking north on Ferguson from 6331 you cross an alley and it used to be Day Street. The next corner is Main and the next street is 64th Street. On the southwest corner was Rodocker's Livery Stables.

As automobiles became popular the business added an auto repair and renamed the business 64th Street Garage. In the photo, the man in leather apron and holding his hat is Charles Greenwood, a long time blacksmith.

William Rodocker's daughter Edyth, standing with her bike, later married Paul Heaton, who's family owned Heaton Transfer, a moving company, which was just next door.

Sometimes Pat and the neighbor kids would walk to the swimming pool located west of College Avenue and it was maintained by the city. It was unusual because it had a sandy beach! The kids nicknamed it Mustard Hole.
