In February 1976 I was hit by a car while riding my 10-speed bike
home from my part time job at the Miracle Food Mart. I was in my
first year the the University of Western Ontario, and because of the
accident was forced to withdraw for that term. I had a badly broken
leg and was in a cast and crutches for the next nine months.
But...every cloud has a silver lining...as I discovered that a cast
and crutches were girl magnets! Woo-hoo! My male friends with fully
functional legs could not believe the way the babes flocked to me!
Alas, eventually I had to return to two-legged transport and things
returned to normal. Oh well.
Photography was done with my father's Instamatic camera. However, I
did sue the guy who ran me over and with the settlement bought my
first SLR: a Miranda dx-3.

Oh, and I forgot the photographic bit... I was majoring in s&d&r&r and
left-wing politics, the latter mostly in the capacity of working on
the student paper (the University of Guelph "Ontarion") for which we
shot a few rolls of Tri-X every week and processed it in a
sweltering-hot darkroom. It was primitive but the enlarger was not
terrible. This happened mostly late at night and often under the
influence. Ah, youth. -T

Thanks for reminding me J.C.O..

Washington D.C. Bicentennial Fireworks from the top of the hill in
Arlington National Cemetery. A fantastic evening, culminating in a
party during which the Colonel in charge of "The Colony" asked my
bride to be to serve as his assistant. Which ultimately allowed her
to leave home and move to Frederickburg, then marry me later that
same year!
