Suzanne returns to the podcast to discuss this strange episode where blind kids (and some adults) need to walk a really long distance instead of transporting them via train or a few wagons. Great Harriet moments! “Mr. Standish buys the building that the Blind school has been housed in and wants to turn it into a hotel. He gives the blind school 30 days to move. Adam and Mary send a letter to Charles telling them to alert them if they hear of an available place. Rev. Alden tells Charles that when he died, Lars Hansen left the deed to a big house in his care. It’s too big to sell to one family so he hasn’t been able to unload it, but it’s perfectly big enough for a blind school. The church votes to clean it up and get it ready for the blind school to take it over. The Winoka school is joining with another school run by Mrs. Hester Sue Terhune. When she finds out that a Mrs. Terhune is coming with the Winoka blind school, mistaking her for another lady she once knew by the name of Terhune, Harriet makes the decision to join the blind school on their journey back to Walnut Grove. She also decides to buy herself a new bedroom suit and donates her old (perfectly good one) to Mrs. Terhune’s bedroom at the blind school.” Blind Journey originally aired on November 27, 1978 and December 4, 1978
