Connecting with Europe circa 1940

In 1973, I hitch-hiked around Europe. There were a few train rides, too.

In a pub in Llandudno, Wales, I played darts with a former Spitfire pilot. WWII had ended just 28 years earlier. Thinking back 28 years now (in 2023) brings us to 1995. Not so long ago, eh?

I returned to Europe two years later to attend a University of Waterloo program at Mannheim University (for four months). That’s where Manfred, a character in A Life on Water, obtains a second degree.

I earned an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master of Arts degree in English Literature at the University of Waterloo.
