Just Wonderful Reflections !

  Good Evening Everyone !

 

        Sometimes I reflect in the past, and think of all the wonderful times spent in School, I did not like it too much back then, but we really had it good ! If only we  could  go back  just for a little while ? No headaches, fancy free days, the homework load was not as heavy as it is today ! I see it with my daughter, we hardly had any compared to today  and she is graduating this year Oie Vey !

 

 

        Verdun was really a fantastic place to grow up in the sixties, and seventies, it will always hold a wonderful  warm spot in my heart, and memory banks as I am sure it does to a lot of Past Verdunites and still present!

        I am sure I am not the only one out there that is for sure. I can still smell  the hallways, and classrooms still to this day of Banantyne School, the Verdun Annexe, and last but not least Verdun High School !

       I at least go to Verdun every second week, and walk around from Ethel Street ( Where my Grandmother use to live, at 3586 Ethel ) right up to the end of Wellington, and then on other occasions , I do Verdun Avenue , or Banantyne, or walk down Champlain )

      I myself use to live at 3971 Lesage Street , and you can see all the changes as the years go by,  the next generation will see something else.

       It really does feel good to walk, and look around and reflect back !

      Great Memories to hold in our hearts till we grow cold !  Awww, what can I    say ???

Three Sixes Club

When I hung around Dawson's we had a club called the Three Sixes Club. 

 I still have all the Guardian Newspaper clips from the clubs newletters.  Who won the jidder bug contest etc.  fun stuff.  I guess we didn't worry about the Devil cause we were full of the Devil  lol

Is this the same thing as Guy mentioned re: the trip to McCord,....are they related ......"???

Bands that played in Verdun

Do you recall the Band Soma they used to play at
Dawsons.

The song I remember from the haunted was 125 I
think.

" I was walking down the street on a foggy
night"

Question on Operating Systems

Does anybody here have the new Vista Operating System.  If so, do you like it?  Does it take a lot of getting used to?  Any pros and/or cons about it?

 

Just wondering how long I can go till I need a new Operating System.  Hopefully not until they get any bugs worked out of Vista!
