44 years ago to day I arrived in Toronto at the old Malton airport. Immigrating with two friends - who were already here, Paul was illegally stopped in his bright red Lotus Plus 2.
He came running into the terminal looking for me.
It was a crazy start to a crazy few years... with many memorable moments.
I loved Toronto in the early seventies. My friends did not settle down as eagerly. They left in 1974 for a decade of wandering. I pretty much settled down by 1973.
I was definitely a Canadian at heart. Remained so for the rest of my life.... but never gave up also being a Brit at heart and an absentee American.
Thank you Canada - especially Ontario & Nova Scotia... and 33 million people.
... and Kingsbury and Oxford... and St. Petersburg , New York, I-75 & I-95...
... a million other highways.
