I think you could do a great kids' book using this, with illustrations. Kate, was what you saw in her own hand-writing, or had it been typed? I'm curious to know if her spelling and so on was correct or not. Just curious, because back then, there was a lot more emphasis on proper spelling and grammar than there seems to be now. I can't imagine too many kids these days writing something like that. I think I sometimes get too hung up on proper spelling and grammar, but even some of the so-called professional writing I've seen lately is atrocious (and I had to check spelling on that last one because I had two /t/s to begin with.) To quote one of my co-workers, we're going to hell in a handbasket. Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tired of spam? Yahoo!

The Lobster's Ball was typed. I copied it exactly as written -- no spelling problems. What I did see handwritten was well done. Joni would have made good marks in her English classes. There was one little booklet hung on the wall by a string; she had printed that in Grade One with a little story -- very neat, good spelling and punctuation -- I'm surprised they displayed it this way though, as someone could easily make off with it and my guess is that one day it will be worth a pretty penny. I think Joni will be as revered and well known as Beethoven or Bach, for instance, in the centuries to come.

I got some pics from the remaining film on my normal camera which I just emailed to a few listas (if I figured out how to actually send the frigging things from my laptop - long story, so Catherine, Bob, Ashara, and Jimmy, lemme know if they don't show up, and if they do, feel free to share with whoever). I also took notes but it was a quick trip, so I didn't get to spend as long as I would have liked. However, I'll be back in Saskatoon a week from Friday, so I will go back without the kids and take more time. As it was, my kids were running.. and running.. and running... and I was afraid the stern looking security woman would kick our asses out of there. Anyway, highlights - pics of Joni as a child, report cards, where her grade 4 teacher in North Battleford said "Joan's work is well above average. She has the gift of interpretation. Her deportment, however, should be improved upon, although of late she has been a good girl". Then, a later report card gave our Joan "Fair" in deportment. Her grade 6 report card said "Joan should pay more attention to other subjects than art." There were also her high school report cards, but I didn't have a chance to write down the grades. There was a funny "We'd like to See" page from her high school where it said "We'd like to see.... Joan Anderson on time for school." It also made me laugh to see Joni was awarded a "Temperence Certificate" from the Canadian Women's Christian Temperence Union and given to her at the North Battleford United Church Sunday School. I also took a picture of, and wrote down, a sweet poem she wrote for her dad's birthday: Ode to my Father You aren't any Rock Hudson For whom the belles all toil Sometimes your nervous driving makes mom and me just boil You don't remember birthdays or anniversaries you criticize your daughter "no paint, less powder, please!" Although your humor is corny We bear it, mom and I Some fathers never crack a joke. I must admit you try. But if I had to choose a dad, I wouldn't hesitate. Your good points outweigh bad ones In short, I think your [sic] great! Happy Birthday To a Swell Pop. Anyway, I really liked that one. There was also this smartass "How to paint like a modernist painter" thing she wrote, but I didn't get to write it down. Ummm, what else... there was a bunch of cool childhood drawings, especially the pic of the painter (I got a good shot of it). There was also the whole Bambi spread, of the fire, and those sorta disturbed me - she was obsessed with the scene, I guess, and the Mendel had it playing over and over next to the pics. Ummmm, I can't even think of what else. Some cool doodling on an exercise book, pics of her sweet 16, the prom dress (got a pic of me with my arm around the dress which was kinda funny), prom pics.... damn, I can't rightly think right now, but I wanted to post this before I forgot, since I probably won't get to do it for a couple days (been in stoon since the weekend and I don't wanna even think of how crazy work will be tomorrow). Anyway, as I said, I will try to pop in on the 12th and perhaps bring my video c am (I don't know if we are even supposed to take pics in there, but the stern woman didn' t say anything). Anyway, I'll write more as I think of it, and will be back before it's gone, hopefully to video the thing for y'all.
