First School

I first went to school with my twin Maureen in the rec room of a modern house in a neighbourhood near by Marymount School when we were about 4 years old - maybe even 3.

If memory serves we were age 4 for most of Grade 1, at the original St. Thomas school, and this home based experience was obviously before that.

What surprises me is that I can have a memory of this early age.
For sure, my present memory has been influenced by recalling and even re-telling this story over the years. Still, some of the recollection seems genuine - however foggy.

Of interest to me is that the school was primarily a French language place. There was some English, but we were schooled to learn French.

There might have been 15 students or a few more. Not a big gang.
