--Boundary_(ID_B89w7nzeL2JUmiZnCs6wWA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Roland, that storm was on Oct. 2, 1976 -- I remember because I was in Wolfville then in my first autumn here, having come from Alberta just a month previous. What I most remember from that day is not only how fierce the wind was on campus, with the trees really tested, but also how much the bigger birds like gulls and pigeons and crows appeared to enjoy it by flying around in it!
