pyatMore photos from my mother:
Montreal, 1979: Times were hard. I was recruited into the Space Troopers, and sent to beat down AstroSeparatists and Moon Hippies. More seriously - my 5th (or possibly 6th, which would be 1980) birthday. The sword, shield and helmet all glowed in the dark. Have you ever worn a glow-in-the-dark helmet? They rule.
The summer of '79. Montreal's Gay Pride Day, judging by my hot pants and rainbow shirt. More likely, a birthday party or garage sale.
New Brunswick, 1978. Me and my big sister on a family trip to the Bay of Fundy and the Hopewell Rocks.
Hamilton, 1982. Going to church with my sisters. My jacket has a Space Shuttle mission patch. I think I got that either from my grandpa, who liked visiting Kennedy Space Center, or when I wrote to NASA. NASA used to send huge packages of information and photos to kids who wrote them as asked. Look right, you'll see a brick pillar. I hid a time capsule behind one of the loose bricks, and my dad mortared it up.
