Hometown
14 August 2008
We’re on the last leg of our vacation. Its been 2
weeks and we’ve had a ball.
Yesterday I rode up to my old elementary school to snap a few pictures and ran into a friend of mine who is the IT director for the school district. He gratiously let me go inside and tour the bulding - somewhere I have not been since I graduated to Jr. High in the early 1980s. I hear they are going to tear it down soon - accessiblity wasn’t as big an issue in 1970 as it is today - and I’m told it just can’t be retrofitted. It will be a sad day for those of us who went to the odd round pod-school on the southern Alberta prairie.
It was pretty cool to be back inside after so many years. I was suprised at how much had not changed. Here is a selection of images...

Here are a few other images from the last few days.
We left Cardston
yesterday at noon and drove down to my brother’s
place in Poulson, MT. He just graduated from
optometry school and has been working at his new
practice in town for a bit over a year. Its a nice
little place on Flathead Lake and close to our old
stomping grounds around Echo Lake and Kalispell. A
bit of nostalgia all round.
Now back to Seattle today...
