Specail Visitor

This week on Wednesday my class had a special visitor. Her name is Thelma Eakin. Thelma is a book author, she wrote the book called The Mines afire. It is a book about the Brunner Mine site. Thelma Eakin came in to answer some of our questions about the book. Thelma also showed us a lamp called a safety lamp that they used in the mine but sometimes they used a open flame. One interesting thing that she told us is that the teacher used to lock the door of the classroom to go fishing.
