Started
summer school at Lindsey Place High
[for French that I did not pass].
Tina in the class. Met Robert Rea outside the door. [though
having to take school was drag, it was because of it that
I met Lesley in September...].
July 12 Monday
Went to the Dairy Queen after school,
Tilden there, and a guy with a small motor bike. Went to the
shops, bought one Export "A" 25, then to the tunnels
with Robert Rea [the tunnels were
build under the highway 2&20 so you could cross it in
safety. It was covered in graffiti. Every time they repainted
it, it was covered again. I wish someone had done an archeological
study of the layers, but they were torn down and replaced
with new ones c. 1990], met Haden there. We went
back to the shops with Haden.

After class sat in the reckroom and
listened to music [on the only progressive
rock station in Montreal CKGM-FM, later to become CHOM (named
from the mantra 'OM'). They (actually Doug Pringle, see September
7, 1972) went on the air October 28, 1969 and I'd heard
of them in 1970 . I would record music too, songs by Mountain,
Spirit, The Faces, Jethro Tull and Deep Purple, among other...]
