Hello Mr. Hurley!
I have always been fascinated with how certain stories are told and re-told in family circles. My family spent a year in Germany that was both challenging and formative, and provided a wealth of stories by turn funny, bizarre, and telling of our experiences of culture shock.
We never seem to tire of hearing these stories, which have developed into a script of sorts over the years. In a way, they detail a time when we stood together as a unit and faced the obstacles and adventures in our path.
I'm not sure if my name rings any bells, but you were my grade 6 & 7 teacher at Cardinal Newman! I studied Comparative Literature (I'm still the same bookworm) and completed an MA last year. I am currently in the Library Studies program at U of T. I would love to hear from you!
(feel free not to post this on your blog --I couldn't find an e-mail address to contact you directly).
