Fairview was built in 1965, and was a large indoor mall of over 60 stores. Built around a large central corridor, it had fountains at each end at the entrances to the largest department stores: Simpson's and Eaton's. At the center of the mail was an information desk and large suspended clock.

Across the west parking lot outside Eaton's was Fairview Cimema, with two theatres.

July 10-26
family vacation in Miscoka, Ontario [this turned out to be the last one our family would take together].

Music that summer: Jimi Hendrix, Grand Funk Railroad, the soundtrack of 'Woodstock', Led Zeppelin (who's first album I had bought that summer).

Spent some nights in Kingsman Park with Sheila and her friend Liz Haden.

I talked to and saw Scott Nixon (from Grade 7) a few times in the summer.

From August 5th to September 6th took over a neighbouring kid's (Bill Wood) Gazette route.

Grade 8 began September 9th. I couldn't wait, I'd see Laine again. I was so disappointed to discover he wasn't in any of my classes. Luckily Sheila was. School uniforms were abolished this year.

Jimi Hendrix died September 18th, just as I was discovering how good he was.

September 27 Sunday
CFOX Mini Pop Festival at the Pointe Claire Arena, from 3 to 9:30. Laine was there. [My comment: "cool"].
