What childhood fear do you remember?
piles of logs beside the road, it was the time of
road working. I was supposed to go up to the
McDonald's for something. I was so sure that
there was a black bear there, I couldn't go by it.
I went back home and Gram had to take me by
it I was an awful coward, maybe still am.
And I was afraid of thunder and lightning.

How much do you remember paying for an ice cream?
I imagine about 10 cents, we didn't it it often, only
on the 12th of July picnic and in the winter when we
made our own. Tasted better then when we had it
so seldom.

Relate an experience about stepping on something.
Another time I stepped on a bee again under my toe.
There I was on one foot screaming, "I stung my toe."
They thought I had got on the cutters on the mowing
machine. Oh I sure could scream. They teased me
about. "I stung my toe." for months after.

Did you ever go fishing in your childhood?
Yes, with a birch rod and a can of worms. We caught
a little trout only later 3 or 4 of us went to where we
knew a big sucker was, we tried all afternoon but no
bite after a while I got a bite and got it out. It was so
big we were scared of it, it was me hook he grabbed,
we were to scared to pick it up so we dragged it along
the road, it was the biggest fish I ever caught, I don't
know what we did with him.

Tell a memory of riding on a ferry, bus, train or plane.
On a train coming up from N.S. there was a wreck.
I don't know how many cars went off the track but
we had to walk back to the station and it was snowing,
anyway the train to take the passengers back was gone.
Olive Lawerence and I couldn't go on it. We were taken
to a hotel, forget the name but it sure was good when we
went on the next day.

Share another memory of a ride.
I don't remember a ride only behind my Dad's horse.
I think probably about a race on the ice on the millpond.
We were so excited to see Knight away ahead, he had
a beautiful tail spread out in the wind. He was so
pretty but long after that his feet got very sore. Likely
now they would have called a vet but he got so bad they
had to put him down. My grandad did it.

One night coming in from the toilet I saw something

it a poke with my foot and it moved then I put my
