Lynn's Comments: When my son was in high school, he had left a pair of shoes in the front hall—again. As I bent down to pick them up, I noticed how big they were. I remembered how tiny his shoes had been just a short while ago. I realized he and his feet were now the size of an adult and it wouldn't be long before I would be wishing his shoes were still in the hallway.

Lynn's Comments: This story is an embarrassing piece of personal history. I was in junior high school when they decided to raise the bus fares. One of the students was a real activist and she organized a rally to protest.

Lynn's Comments: I was given a placard, which read, "Boycott BC Hydro"” This was the company that governed the Vancouver transit lines at the time. I had read nothing about the reasons behind the bus fare hike and had no idea what "boycott" meant.

Lynn's Comments: We all marched down the main streets of Vancouver, lead by our righteous leader—screaming for justice.

Lynn's Comments: Here's irony for you: we all lived in North Vancouver and had to take the bus into the city in order to protest the bus fare hike.

Lynn's Comments: Our enraged and noisy parade made it to the BC Hydro building where we demanded to see the Minister of Transportation. We were told that he was not in the building and that we should make our concerns known in writing. We were too excited and energized to be reasoned with. This was exciting!

Lynn's Comments: As we protested, our parents were watching the evening news at home and saw the live coverage of a student protest at the Vancouver Hydro building.

Lynn's Comments: In the middle of the crowd of protesters my dad saw me holding my placard and shouting for justice.

Lynn's Comments: My dad jumped in the car and drove as fast as he could into the city.

Lynn's Comments: Dad found my friends and me in the crowd and demanded we get into the car.

Lynn's Comments: This is the first introduction to "Weed"—Michael's eventual life-long chum. He looks a bit different here—in later illustrations, his nose gets bigger. I have this thing for big noses.
