Kids Get Country Lessons

A farmer, miner, fisher, rancher and firefighter came to Roosevelt middle school to talk to students about Montana: a crazy land with open sky and cows and a lack of tall buildings. The kids were skeptical.

On this trip to the Los Angeles area, Vincent is taking the rural visitors to Disneyland to give them a taste of urban entertainment.

“It’s a real shock for me to come to California,” Lorang told a group of seventh-graders at Roosevelt.

It's a shock for anyone to come to Disneyland.

“Do you have electricity there?” asked Gevorg Aroyan, 12, after seeing a photo of Lorang’s house and her adjacent barn.
