Sliding Into an Old Friend

The following is the record of a fun moment for me, in a Facebook group for people who grew up in East Vancouver. I lived my first nine years there. Some good memories occurred.

Because it is from a public Facebook group, and very few people read my blog anyway, I haven't altered the names.

Brenda-Lee Anne I sure do !!! I got hosed down on rainy days.... lol Had Mrs. Miller for kindergarden

Gino Pellizzari So did I. Early 70s

Brenda-Lee Anne I had her in 72/73

Christine Lewis Miss Miller was my kindergarten teacher, too. Woulda been about 1972. My mom then became a teacher's aide for her.
