Robin's Story
Life
My wife and I have daughters and foster daughters total 5 or 6, depending on extended family, - another 2 foster grandchildren - write songs, sometime have got to do something with them. My wife and kids are Innu (cousins to the Cree) and speak Innuiemun. A lot of open space up here (spruce forest) - clear skies and air - sometimes unbelievable northern lights - going to the city is a big adventure (I never appreciated anything living in T. - here, I appreciate everything!)
School
Dinsmore kept drilling us on what a correct English sentence was. Sidorchuk gave me some good advice later when he was with the School Board. Happiest time - winning the '66 junior soccer championship (sic), and the '68 senior soccer championship. Wish I could do it over with what I know now - would stop and smell the roses and dance with every girl that would dance with me.Teacher: "Take off your boots?" Marv: "Nude pieds." Baker's sketch-Hannibal's soldiers with tons of peanuts.
