c6 tribune june 1 1988 chance reunion brings back memories i picked up the letter that was in my box at the newspaper office took a quick glance at the name on the upper corner of the envelope and opened it up it was mentioned in the first line of the correspondence that it was being written in response to a col umn i had done the previous week look out i thought were about to take some abuse and its probably deserved as usual but the writer quickly went on to mention that we had gone to the same school when we were kids in toronto i probably wouldnt re member her she added almost apologetically since she had been a grade below me what she didnt realize is that ive got the memory of an elephant when it comes to people ive met in my life and i quickly put together my 25yearold recol lections of her the last time i had seen her she would have been a pig tailed grade 7 student attired in the standard navy blue tunic that was the required dress code for the girls of the old neighbourhood school i couldnt resist the urge to phone her at her home in ux- bridge even though it was long distance i seem to recall you were kind of cute in a short sort of a way i said as we quickly established the easy rapport of two people who had grown up in the same neighbourhood i think i had asecret crush on you back in grade 4 she volun teered laughing of course back then it wasnt

anglican sunset boulevard stouffville from where i live bruce stapley in your own class i would guess i had spoken to enid no more than half a dozen times in the eight years we attended school together ive always been big on reun ions so i suggested she come over for dinner that weekend and i must admit that my curiosity really started to get the better of me as the time of her arrival came closer not that our both being in the single again category was put ting any kind of pressure on the meeting we had both established the fact in our telephone con versation that neither of us were on the prowl but 25 years is a long time would i recognize her she had the edge on me there because at least she had seen my mug shot in the tribune would we quickly run out of things to talk about and end up simply going through the motions for several hours before she politely excused herself and went home as it turned out my fears were totally unfounded as we spent a delightful afternoon together sharing stories of the old neigh bourhood filling each other in on how some of the others were doing whom we had kept contact with and generally relating one to the other in a way we had never been able to way back when its funny how a childhood com monness can establish a bond that even a quarter century of time cannot erode here were two indi viduals who had occupied the same space in the 1950s and 60s now back together via a chance encounter comparing life stories laughing and generally waxing nostalgic i felt at once as if i had both reexperienced a little of my childhood while at the same time i had made a new friend im sure well see each other again in fact im looking forward to it and the whole experience has set me to wondering about the whereabouts of the old gang and just what fascinating experiences have graced the lives of willy jocko ting pit sax and the rest of the bunch special best buy 1- value plastic ii hummingbird oscillating sprinkler aitmciive 30 pantis
