What I remember is:

• Long curious neighbourhood walks to and from school.
• Muddy soccer at lunch in spring and fall; hockey with or without skates in winter
• Crush on sexy Miss Kincaid
• Watching 1972 Summit Series (Canada Cup) in my grade 4 classroom
• Visiting police telling me my cool red bike was unsafe for the road
• Telling Miss Cressman that I had an Irish streak to explain my misbehaviour in the school yard
• Cool Mr. ??? with the fancy Mustang sports car (he taught grade 5 I think)
• Pretty girls, first girlfriend,
• Walking home for lunch and watching The Flintstones
• Playing ledgers and kissing behind the portable
