WINNIPEG! AHHH, WINNIPEG! I WENT TO THAT BARREN, COLD CITY AFTER I GRADUATED YALE DRAMA SCHOOL TO RUN AN AMATUER THEATRE. IT WAS IN THE 50'S (A LONG TIME AGO) BUT THE MEMORIES STILL STICK OUT. THE CITY WAS ON A PLAIN, FLAT AS COULD BE AND IT WAS WINTER AND WINNIPEG IS COLD, FREEZING WINDS, SNOW, ETC THE WEATHER DITACTED YOUR LIFE. I HAD TO ADJUST AND THE PEOPLE HELPED ME. I LEARNED VERY QUICKLY HOW TO DRESS, HOW TO PLUG THE HEATER IN MY CAR SO THAT IT WOULD NOT FREEZE. LOTS OF DRUNKEN PARTIES. WE WOULD DRINK, ETC BUT THEN I HAD TO PUT ON ALL THE HEAVY COATS, HATS, GLOVES, ETC. TO GO OUT AND HEAT UP THE CAR. IN THE WINTER THE SNOW IS PILED UP SO HIGH THAT YOU COULDNT SEE ACROSS THE WIDE STREETS. AND THE STORMS AND THE 20, 30 EVEN 40 DEGREES BELOW ZERO MADE IT WAS TOUGH TO LIVE IN BUT THE PEOPLE WERE GENEROUS, FRIENDLY AND HELPED ME ADJUST TO THE MAJOR CHANGE IN LIFE STYLES. OF COURSE IT WAS THE 50'S AND MAYBE ATTITUDES HAVE CHANGE BUT THE DAMN COLD, SNOWY BITTER WEATHER HASN'T

Dad,
Why are you shouting? Intrepid1, my Dad never mentions what school he went to so it is really a bit odd, none of his friends know he even went to college My parents loved living there.
