Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: As a boy, retired educator Lloyd Dennis went to five schools in one year, as his family moved around to find work. At one the teacher told him 'You couldn't catch up to this class with roller skates on.' That was really mortifying, Dennis recalls, because, being raised in the bush, 'I didn't even know what roller skates were.'
