Comments: I was born in winnipeg but only lived there until i was one. Lived in Shilo, Man. until I was seven and moved to Edmonton, Ab. Never been back. Wonder what it looks like now. I remember taking the bus to Brandon a couple of times and I always got motion sick...it seemed to take forever! I remember one time Randy Bachman (yes from the band!) came to visit and I bit his finger when he tried to go coochi-coo to me. I've met him later in life and he still remembers my brother dave who airbrushed his guitar and went to school with him. Randy is a very cool and down to earth guy.

Comments: I really liked Delaine's mom, Mrs. Green. So easy going, so fun loving, and a great mother to her kids. When word came out, that day in 1961, that my cousin Larry (at the age of 5) had wandered into a water pit, this woman didn't hesitate, she got over there and dived and dived, trying to find Larry. I'll never forget her shivering body, trying desperately to find her son's pal in the cold water, crying hysterically when it failed. It's haunting, but I gained a very early and very lasting sense of respect for her. Good bye Micki. You deserve your heaven.

Comments: I remember Mrs Green very well. I was a lifeguard at General Strange Pool and had many occasions to have a chat and a gossip with her....such a wonderful person! She will be sorely missed by so many. My deepest condolence to her family at this very sad time.
