MEMORIES FROM SASKATOON WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE ROOF OF ST.PAULS HOSPITAL IN SASKATOON - THE EXACT LOCATION LARRY AND ANOTHER PATIENT SPENT SEVERAL HOURS LATE THE NIGHT BEFORE LARRY WAS TO HAVE AN OPERATION - AMAZING FINDING THIS PHOTO ON THE INTERNET. ( THAT LITTLE SPOT IN THE FAR DISTANT MIDDLE IS THE FAMOUS BESBOROUGH HOTEL
 THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE BEAUTIFUL LAWN BEHIND THE SASKATOON SANITORIUM - LARRY AND HIS FRIENDS USED TO PLAY TOUCH FOOTBALL THERE EVERY SUNDAY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. THE MANGEMENT TOLD THEM TO LEAVE AN NOT COME BACK. A FEW WEEKS LATER LARRY WAS CALLED TO THE PRINCIPLE'S OFFICE AT SCHOOL AND ASKED IF HE WAS ONE OF THE BOY THAT USED TO PLAY BEHIND THE SAN. WHEN HE SAID HE WAS THE PRINCIPLE ADVISED HIM THE MANAGER OF THE HOSPITAL HAD CALLED AND MENTIONED THE PATIENTS COMPLAINED THAT THE BOYS WERE NOT COMING ANYMORE - COULD THEY RETURN PLEASE?
