<strong>RICHARD</strong> <strong>ALLEN</strong> <strong>SCOTT</strong><br />

THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

School was only 2 blocks away and<br />

when I arrived I was put into Grade 5<br />

as <strong>the</strong> English education system was<br />

deemed to be fur<strong>the</strong>r ahead than <strong>the</strong><br />

Canadian system. Remember my C<br />

and C- in math?...even though we<br />

were doing fractions in England, but<br />

not here, I still had a hell of a<br />

time…which continued right through<br />

Grade 12 and beyond!!<br />

Close to <strong>the</strong> school was a corner<br />

store where I remember buying my<br />

first glazed donuts and strawberry licorice.<br />

Of <strong>the</strong> 4 schools that I attended in Regina,<br />

Davin is <strong>the</strong> only one still standing. The<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r 3, including my high school, were all<br />

demolished and replaced with housing.<br />

My first school in Regina- Davin Elementary School – Gr.5 1957/58<br />
