What is your fondest memory of Templeton? Billy Danielzik, Walter Sepe and myself got sent to the office from Mr. Allen's Drama 8 class, for swinging from the overhead curtains on the catwalk.
VP Mr. Muir then made us go around the school grounds picking up trash, and not return to his office till his garbage can he supplied was full.
Walter, decided that dog shit was garbage, so it should be included, and upon our return, laughing down the hall, we got in more crap.
Fast-forward to early 90's and some new neighbour 2 houses away in Brookswood, Langley fires up a chainsaw at 7AM on a Saturday morning...long story
it's Walter!

Thirty years ago today, October 14, 1979 at roughly this coffee break time, Billy Danielzik and myself decided to cut class and drive down to the Pacific Coliseum in my '72 Cougar. We were going to check out the morning practice of that nights opposing hockey teams young new player, born the same year as us, 1961.
We both thought he was gay, but impressed us none the less, as he went on to score his first of many NHL goals that night, against Glen Hanlon.
The team playing the Vancouver Canucks that night was the Edmonton Oilers...and that young kids name... #99 Wayne Gretzky!


When was the last time you walked through the halls of Templeton? 75th Anniversary in 2002.
