Memories of my Grad Year - Selwyn House School, Montreal, 1981

As with many, my grad year was one of excitement and transition. With a university spot already secured, my last semester was steeped in freedom and an adventurous spirit. Still recovering from the disco decade, 1981 was a landmark year where Ronald Regan became president, John Lennon was shot, the first space shuttle was launched, Prince Charles and Lady Diana were married, and IBM put out its first personal computer. For me, it was the next step into adulthood and a new world of possibilities.
