Field trip to Canada

I just stumbled across something I apparently typed up from notes kept on the field trip to Canada.  It's a pretty dry account but when I read it, I sure felt a few crusty old synapses firing up again.  This thing is 44 years old, typed on the portable Olympic typewriter my uncle got me for my bar mitzvah, and on that crappy kinda transparent "corasable" paper we all used to use.  I scanned it and attached it here.  Let me know if you have trouble opening it.

Dear L,

 

I didn't remember you as such a grand historian.  That was fabulous!  If you still have my pix, I have shots of most of the places you describe! I'm going to print this and put it with my own memories.  I'll bring my pix to the reunion if you can't post them here.  Please do not send me further instructions with red circles and arrows!  I did try it once, and may again.  I ended up sending blanks!

 

XO,

 

G

Did you send me your Canada pix?  I don't think I got them.  Can you maybe try to re-send?

 I can't believe you have that journal.  The sizzling cheese was cheese fondu and I remember it was the first time I ever had it.

Great pix, Gail, and there I am in two of them!

Do i recall something funky at the Border returning?

Customs opening suitcases crammed with laundry looking for fireworks?

Chaperones embarassed.
