My daughter has taken to building forts during the quarantine for Covid-19. I remember lots of forts throughout my life, but my favorite I called not ironically a "reading fort".
In 3rd grade at Shorewood Elementary School in 1976.
I thought my teacher's name was Leonore Murray, but I can't find anything, so my spelling might be off. I tried a bunch of different spellings in the search.
She had what she called a carol. No references to that on google either. It was a wooden fort with lots of little reading nooks for wild minded boys like me who read better enclosed without distractions.
Basically it had a bunch of little rooms for little kids to read. I had one to myself. One time I got caught passing messages between room cracks. But it's my favorite fort. A reading fort, that took away all the distractions.
