Clarity-Every Little Bit Helps

Hi, from Paul MacArthur is Oshawa.I was in the Class of 66.I just happened to be associated with 65 more through friends.
I botched 66 G-X111 but while in attendance at the OAC U of G I started to study the two subjects I needed and successfully passing in 67. So I am of 66 but officially 67 is it.
Note my name gets many spellings of bad weather and many not complimentary but that goes with the territory maintaining a business at 69 incorporated in 1985. My website is alternativecare.ca.
So the spelling you see is correct. I wish to thank the SUPPORT people-Victoria for getting me set up to keep in touch.Just because my schooling through PS & HS was a very rough ride I take the stance this stuff of bad memories can eat one up. So as the years melt away it should dissolve some of the negatives. It was recent setback when my Aunt of 93 passed away that went squirrel-ly. And what is, is what it is, but unfortunately things like this can stir up the past especially if everyone else seems to know everything but I can say that both my Uncle her brother who turns 95 soon; we still can not figure it out. And this is why after the legal hurdles were resolved to my understanding it was easy for both of us to just stay away as to really we are getting nothing. I am pleased though to finally get some missing family stuff however the period of 1941 to 1947 is not there. The events of family during those times of war and those serving versus those living in THE COUNTY would help tie much together. So this will pass and life goes on. So let's see where this all goes being so disconnected and now trying to figure out whose on first and just keep calm and carry on.

A friend of mine a Judge passed away in Picton. He told me something I will always remember "say what you have to say" and if you can put it into a good story then people can understand what you are saying. I used this for years teaching part-time JK,SK and the lower grades by getting my points across with a story. I can say it works because teaching in country schools where school buses come an go making sure the snow boots are ready for dismissal is vip. And I can tell you after I told the story of the missing snow-boots well we had order every day and not one child had to ever look where to find anything ever again on my watch.
