    Hi Corey, great to hear from you, I remember it was basically us who ran the computer lab lol, as for me I am still a computer guy, a computer analyist programmer. I am not sure WHO sent me the link to this site but it was in my email when I got back from Minneapolis. Feel free to share any memories as mine are no where as crisp as your seem to be. Though perhaps a little prompting would change that lol. I do NOT remember the “tomato incident however I will now spend a few moments trying to LOL.

    I also remember a life lesson I learned from you. We were quite young at the time, and it didn’t sink in right away. But it sat inside me for quite a while.

    I wonder if you remember the time we were in the field at the community centre on Logan. We were in elementary school, but I don’t remember our exact age. It was spring, and the fields of the community centre were still wet from melting snow. There were a bunch of those old style snow fences rolled up, waiting to be picked up and stored until next winter. We had a hoot knocking them down, and rolling they around and such. They were the type that were made of wood slats and wire. We had our fun and left them lying there as we headed towards home down the backlane that ran by the cpr tracks.

    I guess the caretaker of the community centre caught up with us, but he wasn’t sure if we were the ones who knocked them down. He was quite concerned about them rotting in the water, and wanted to read us the riot act. I denied that it was us, and he was believing me. Then he turned to you. You said “Yes, we did it”. The caretaker got to read us his riot act, and then let us go. I guess there wasn’t much else he could do. I expected he would have called our parents, but he didn’t pursue that.

    As we were walking away, I asked you why you told the truth. You said something about how he would know anyway. I said he was believing me, and we could have gotten away with it. At the time, my fear of what would happen motivated me to do the wrong thing.

    You were right George. You knew at a younger age than I that truth is best.

    Eventually I learned the freedom in being truthful. I have young children right now, and I’m doing my best to help them learn that lesson. If they tell the truth and make amends for their mistakes, I consider that a successful day.
