RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT - Through the Years

RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT
THROUGH THE YEARS
In September of 1961, at 13 years of age, I entered
Grade 9 and the hallowed and stately halls of
Central Collegiate Institute (CCI), which is no longer
there. Bulldozed for houses. It was about a 2km
walk (no school buses for city dwellers in those
days), and a tough walk in the winter, let me tell you.
And we didn’t have backpacks or school bags. All
our books were stacked under our arms. Made for a
heavy load some days when we had a lot of
homework (every day to me).
Note the fluorescent pink narrow tie that I’m wearing, a gift from my Uncle Brian in England I
believe, and the Charlie Brown Christmas tree with so many gifts under it!
