Apparently my friend and I came in 41 and 42 position in our final year, grade 7 according to the Vancouver Sun. It was always hot on every Miles for Millions walks in those years (long before global warming was invented) and we always came home with sore feet and sunburns. It was a very different Vancouver then and 2 elementary school aged boys did all the walks by themselves. I tell my now adult children about how we were unsupervised and how hot it was on those walks in May now less, and they turn green with envy. Vancouver's Dunbar was a really good place to grow up at that time. I did the Miles from 1969 to the final year I think and that must have been 1972Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272577045735836879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682099522929063140.post-76772032302014735692012-05-28T21:09:50.266-07:002012-05-28T21:09:50.266-07:00Hello there,

I am currently working on a research project about Miles for Millions with my History professor (see: http://www.history.ubc.ca/people/tamara-myers). What a fascinating experience you had at the Miles for Millions march! I was wondering if you might be available for an interview sometime in the next couple of weeks? Please email me at: jadur20@hotmail.com whenever you get a chance.<br />Thank you for your time,<br />Jenna DurJenna Durhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025306645687303799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682099522929063140.post-86654031581609186872010-06-17T22:57:51.403-07:002010-06-17T22:57:51.403-07:00My dear independent man; If you were my son, I'...My dear independent man; If you were my son, I'd probably have walked with you! But back then, parents weren't so concerned. They probably told you what to do before the event, but maybe you blocked it out! Or maybe they assumed you'd know by osmosis what to do. My parents were like that. Somehow all this knowledge was supposed to be acquired in some way. Well, alls well that ends well. And yes, I believe they were angels in disquise!
