For some rainy day reading pleasure: An Orange County Register reporter visited Little Rock to follow the activities of a retired Orange County kindergarten teacher, Grace Blagdon. An Arkansas native, she's lived an interesting life, including some memorable moments in pursuit of cher ivil rights, such as attempting to get served a hamburger at the Majestic Hotel in Hot Springs in 1960. Currently, she's trying to renovate decrepit houses on Park Street across from LR Central High. This is a two-parter.
