I remember...

Some of my memories of the Rehabilitation Centre include:

- The daily question, "did you have a B.M. today?"

- Infantol

- Dreaded daily rest periods and no one was ever tired.

- Bed baths

- Always being on a diet and hating the dietician, Ms. Parrott.

- Receiving parcels from home and being told by Ms. Kelly that I couldn't keep my treats cause I was on a diet.

- Brews for breakfast and arrowroots and kool aide for bedtime snack.

- My cousins visiting most sunday afternoons and sneaking me in a piece of roasted chicken [skin on] and a piece of salt beef, wrapped in tin foil.

- Paint by numbers.

- Working in the campaign room in the evenings, for a very small fee, stuffing March of Dimes and Easter Seals envelopes.

- Enjoying my record player

- Listening to the radio and remembering hits of 1969 such as In The Ghetto, A Boy Named Sue, Crimson And Clover, Ground Control To Major Toms, etc.

- Always wondering what went on in that A.D.L. room that Mrs. Snow was responsible for.
