Dawn do you remember a teacher at CCVS called Gordie Higgins. Well Gord taught during the time that I first went to CCVS as well and he had white hair back then. Mr. Higgins was a big man back then. I just finished my dishes and it was just then that his name came to me. It is hot and my daughter went to bed – the job that she has is terrible with the type of clientele unlike other places.
