Lynn's Comments: In kindergarten, I turned a hide and seek game into a bit of chaos by taking off all my clothes in the closet where I was hiding. The teacher was not amused and expelled me from her class. I remember my mom accepting the news with resignation. I guess this had been “the last straw.”

Lynn's Comments: I had a Sunday school teacher who had so many hairs on her chin that I couldn’t concentrate on anything else.

Lynn's Comments: One of the things I loved about Ontario was the fall markets. I looked forward to the bins of apples, the many varieties of pumpkins, sweet corn, home-canned pickles, fresh produce and baking. All around us would be the spectacular colours of the fall leaves and the smell of frost in the air. Some memories come back in Technicolor!

Perhaps it’s a way to survive in the wild.
