  1. I’ll never forget the day we met. It was in the 4th grade at Irene Reither Primary School. I was a new transfer to the class and I didn’t feel particularly well received…..I also had a very very bad habit of leaning my chair on its 2 back legs (come on we all did it don’t laugh!!). My problem was I had a hard time keeping the thing balanced and often fell very hard on my back lol. It got to be so bad and the teacher would holler so much that she finally got fed up with me, one time after I fell the teacher jumped up from her desk, ordered me to “park my butt in my chair and not to move. She then produced a roll of masking tape and proceeded to wrap the tape around the front legs of the chair and the rear legs of my desk!!! Then she looked a me and said “ you can stay there until lunch time comes. Well time passed and despite my attempts I couldn’t get that tape to come loose…and when the lunch bell finally rang I still couldn’t…..but I was the only one who was left because the teacher and the rest of the class had bailed on me and went to lunch!!…..so there I was fighting and struggling to get unstuck….out of nowhere comes a pair of scissors cutting me loose….and My best friend John was there….rescuing me for the first and second time that day……I will cherish our friendship and the memories forever…but I will miss you so much more my friend. Please Please may you Rest In Peace….gone from us now but never EVER forgotten.
