13 Saturday
Because of a street party on another
street, the Bucks went out. (They were neighbours of mine
at 68 Winston Circle, the old Hooper's, not liked by the local
freaks. They all seemed to have brushcuts).
They'd
left their son Ross alone. He was about 14-15? He and a friend
were by their pool trying to get a young girl to swim in the
nude. That's ok, but Fred, Bob, Ernie and I were hiding in
the bushes watching.
This
was like mild revenge. Other plans were to put a one hundred
foot neon sign on their roof that said "The Marijuana
is Here" or to fill their pool with dead jellyfish.

Danny.

16 Tuesday
Michelle had run away, she didn't have
a great homelife. Her grandmother was too much. During the
New Year's Eve party 73/74, she phoned to see if Mich had
left. When I said she had, she said "Are you lying?"
(I wasn't).
Rob
knew she had gone to Long Sault, and he had no car at the
time to go on a search. So I drove Maggie and him there in
the Lincoln (trying to go 100 mph when possible). The guard
let us in free because we were just looking for someone. Some
jocks from John Rennie (including Greg Barr) were there, we
asked them if they'd seen Mich (they hadn't), they asked us
if we had any mesc (we didn't).
We
didn't find Michelle. We took the river road to Cornwall,
Rob drove and I relaxed in the back seat watching the Milky
Way through the back window. We got a little lost in Cornwall.

Maggie,
Ernie and I split a 25 oz bottle of Southern Comfort
[I think we drank in my room ]. Mich returns
[safe and sound, but where she had gone is not recorded ].

18 Thursday
Kingsman
Park. Heather etc. Fred, Foster, Ernie and Bob, not too exciting.
[Kingsman Park was where I hung around with Fred and Bob
in 1969, Also Sheila in 1970...who 'etc' is I don't know ].

19 Friday
Bought
'Quadraphenia' by the Who.
My
parents were away. Had a juicers party. Heather, Pat, Pattie
[Gaul], Louise, Andy, Bennie, Dave, Maggie and
Sue.
As people left (noisily), they threw
the beer bottles into the woods beside the path. The next
morning Mrs Durant (a neighbour) let the phone ring about
36 times before I got it. She went out with me to pick up
the bottles. She never said anything to my parents.

20 Saturday
Andy,
Denis and Larry here, smoked (dumped beer bottles
[in Dollard] on way [where?]
).
July
21 Sunday
'Sunday
in the Park' with Heather, Pattie, Pat, Andy and Bennie. Cut
the leaves of a tree there to look like marijuana.(this also
was probably the one where I watched a freak couple dance
the Lindy Hop under a tree...)
July
22-24 Monday-Wednesday
Exciting
nights in Kingsman Park with Rob and Mich
[which consisted of sitting at an old picnic bench, covered
in little bugs dropped from the tree above. The bench was
at the west side, next to the playground. The bugs, when squashed,
turned red].
