Yes, you are probably right about it being 1967, James. Some friends and
I drove up to Montreal from Troy NY for Expo '67. Aside from someone
snapping off my radio antenna, probably because the car had a NY license
plate, it was a fun trip.

I also did that trip (though we took the train from Vancouver to
Toronto, had my grandmother's brother who lived in Toronto drive us
down to Burlington - about 45 minutes away - to pick up our new
mini-van at the plant. I was 11 years old at the time and had no idea
Burlington would be important to me as it was my future - and
regretably late - wife's home town. Her mother and brother still live
there.

As for Expo one of my chief memories was my grandmother's rage at me
for picking all that 'Communist propaganda' from the Soviet
pavilion...

My parents went to Expo but left us kids behind in the care of a woman
named Mrs White, about whom I remember only three things: her name,
her ability to ruin mac & cheese, and that she refused to let me
walk alone to school in the evening on the facile grounds that I was
only 5 so I missed an event I had been promised. More importantly I
missed the starwberries that were served that night.
