we came on air canada flight, arrived in calgary in the middle of the night in december. some nice folks in ogden put us up over the christmas holidays.

it was the oil boom and apartments were scarce but because we were a family mom got us a place in the holy acres apartment complex on crowchild trail. didn't have a lot of money so she got a foam thing from canadian tire and gave my sister and me each half to sleep on. i was 5 and got to do errands so i could learn english. my first day of school mom introduced me to the bus driver and asked him to look out for me. everyone always did. more than once i'd wander off, it'd get dark and cold and some stranger would pick me up and give me a ride home.

though we knew nothing of your ways, we needed a car to go to the "liquor store". the salesman must have spotted us for chumps dressed in our von trapp family winterwear. he sold us our first car, a '81 chevy citation.

dad put up with a lot. had to learn english in middle age, take a pay cut to come here, and never complained. but he never forgave GM for building a car with a giant friggin' clock in the dash

happy thanksgiving everyone

GGfather born in Brown County, Ohio.......now where talking my old neighborhood. I grew up one county over, but very near the county line, in Clermont County.
You can shake a stick at either.......but they got all the sticks they need.

Part of my family was being oppressed by the English. (Irish)
The other part (German) was oppressing someone else in Europe, likely the French.
