RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT - Through the Years

RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT
THROUGH THE YEARS
1960
This winter photo is me and Dad trying to shovel a way into the garage off the back lane….
impassable. Plus, it was about 25 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. No such thing as snow
shovels then…we used a garden shovel and a broom!
Bloody cold – Dad 36 years old and me
11 years old - Jan, 1960
It was on Quinn Drive that I met
my best friend, Bill Daniels, who
was in my class, was a year older,
and who lived just a few houses
down the street. Needless to say,
we spent most of our waking
hours together. He lived in a very
fancy, modern, split-level house,
as his father was quite well-off.
He had a fountain in his front hall,
a sunken living room, fish pond in
the back yard, and 4-bedrooms
(but 3 other brothers/ sisters).
Our budgie “Poopsie” got out of
the house one winter day, and
ended up on a window ledge at
Bill’s house, where they were able to ‘nab’ him and return him to us. Poor little dickie-bird froze
one of his feet and ended up with ‘club-foot’ for the rest of his very long life (17 years I think it
was).
