By Dave Gerry Now that the sweaters have been hung up for the last time this season, skates and assorted equipment filed away for future reference we can glance back on the past season and remember . . . the road trip to Windsor and Detroit . . . the Penetang AMESBURY SPORTS CLUB; Actually, it's riot much of a story, __ but they were all walking! And I guess that's the story! to clarify race vehicles Tim Topham of North York was doing it "just for the fun of it," and Jack Grady of Etobicoke ct1tldnrt_evtsn utyierstyyi why he was out of bed. They'd all make awful ‘PR.’ types, - but they were allpvapring. Mike Sidnel of We/st Hill tohfus that he just wanted to know if he could do it. (we hope that he did). Linda Matthews of Scarborough told us that "a little bit of pain now means a lot less for someone elte_later,l' sehmaltzy of course, but she said it. Lynn Sakamoto of Rosemary Court told us she was "kind of tired" when we saw her up Weston way. She also told us that Saturdays were kind of boring anyways, and of course, this isn't the kind of thing you tell newspapermen. But she was still walking! All they knew was that they were doing somethigg good forr tomebody. One thing we did do however, was to Be there at seven in the morning - at the Ex. We also covered the walkers along Lawrence Avenue, when the eagerness was beginning to wear off - and later, down around the City Hall when all those curbs bacame six-feet high and the walkers began to wonder how they would ever climb them.

Amendments Take the week before, when on a Saturday morning we stood on the back campus of York Memorial and saw those 'lousy teenagers' running around in their Adidas and shorts. It was snowing. Then, later when we turned up at the 'Ex' and saw them still running in the cold snowy weather. Coach Peter Miller tells us his York Spartans earned upwards to $4,500 for charity. These were our 'lousy teenagers' that newspapers are so very quick to find fault with. (‘Drop-In centres', and all that sort of thing!) No longer. Of course, we still hold the right to call them 'lousy teenagers', but somehow, we've lost a little bit of our anger. no. dr-"h"i-*m---mtrsatr,amrt m1 'fAItrt TALK Miles for millions It was quite a hockey season the Penetang .. . when the boys thought they could hear coach Stone yelling all the way from Peterborough when he was away on a business trip and was informed by phone that the team had lost an im. portant game . . . the list is reallrendleatr and I am sure you all can recall anecdotes of the past season that I have missed.
