-With a good friend of Jim’s and my neighbour at Spry Lake, I visited Jim 2 years ago at his home in Sauble Beach. Had him as a Phys Ed teacher in ‘67-‘68. He also taught with my dad at Centennial and took a couple of summer courses with my dad at Waterloo. Other than being somewhat greyer, he hasn’t changed much. Still has the same sense of humour. We had a good visit and reminisced about the early Centennial years.
