General Currie Elementary School, today a heritage site, was my first school. What memories I have of those first formative years. I can vividly remember my first kiss during a recess on the school yard, back then a rather traumatic experience. The boys in that era considered the opposite sex to be flea infested.
My mother would lovingly prepare my lunch box, appointing it with pitch black pumpernickel bread. My greatest fear was that my school mates would find me out and mock me for my black bread sandwiches. For this reason I ate my bread furtively, hiding it in the dark recesses of my pupil's desk.
