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

THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

I remember our<br />

‘graduation lunch’ in that<br />

we each brought<br />

sandwiches and ‘goodies’<br />

to school one day and ate<br />

in <strong>the</strong> classroom! The<br />

ceremony was on ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

day, with parents and<br />

siblings able to attend.<br />

Grade 8 Graduation – Jun 9, 1961<br />

Christine was a guest<br />

My second attempt at formal sports was tennis<br />

lessons with my sister in <strong>the</strong> summer of 1961 at a<br />

club on <strong>the</strong> grounds of <strong>the</strong> Legislative Buildings. I<br />

continued to play tennis off and on into my early<br />

30’s.<br />

Our summer holiday in 1961 was to a rented cabin<br />

at Kenosee Lake in Moose Mountain Provincial<br />

Park, sou<strong>the</strong>ast of Regina. We did it again in 1962.<br />

A skunk got under our cabin one night and<br />

ruined <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> holiday, having ‘let<br />

loose’ with its stink. We all smelled like<br />

skunk as did all our belongings. How<br />

embarrassing. And this is how strongly I<br />

felt about it! Count <strong>the</strong> ribs.<br />
