We went to Germany in 1956 and were there until Oct/Nov 1957 when we came back to Canada. I went to kindergarten but don't know where, I do recollect being put on a volkswagon van and being driven to school. We lived in Unna on Goethe Strasse. Pmq was about 4-5 units and out the back doors was a large play area and I recollect off to the left was a metal railing and below that was the roof of the garages that were down there. Until today I thought we lived on Gouda Strasse but it obviously would be Goethe. For only being there for a couple of years and being so young I have many memories of living there. One of my better memories is of being in school and having to wear these red slippers with zippers up the front, God I hated them. We lived in Winnipeg until Aug 1968 and then went to Shilo where I went to grades 11 and 12 and then worked at Canex from 1971-77. Spent 30 years with the RCMP as a Telecoms Operator, retiring in 2008.
