Looking Back...

Going through some of my mother's things, I came across this old photo of my father and me, taken on July 15, 1960, at Sulphur Mountain, near Banff. We had just taken our first gondola ride up the mountain.

We were living in Kelowna at this time - had been living there for 2 years... Perhaps we had driven to Edmonton with my mother. She used to take "summer school" courses at the University of Alberta, a requirement of her teaching license - until she finally earned her B. Ed. the summer before I started my university studies.

It  took her 25 years to complete her degree requirements. It was a long haul!


I do have memories of that gondola ride... and every other chair lift and gondola ride ever since!
