His great aunt and uncle, Frank and Jenny Fitzhugh, were custodians at the school. At that time African-American children went to the Spenyville School, whose building remains can still be found on Oventop Mountain (straight up the mountain behind the former Mountainside Market). Mr. Russell’s great aunt and uncle gave him the job to pick up toilet supplies and take them up the mountain to his school. On the occasion of the open house, Mr. Russell, author, historian, story teller and a man of much good will, was able to see himself included and honored among the photos by Ray Boc that were shown continually for two days at the SchoolHouse.

Mr. Russell’s ever present grace and humor are a reminder to us that love and determination can transcend all differences.
