In the Beginning, There Was Me - Tim Keele

(ED NOTE: This is the fifth installment in a series of Recollections of growing up in Kingsville, Ontario from our very own Tim Keele!)

"I had a great time growing up in Kingsville, Ontario just after the Second World War. It was like a fairy tale in many ways living in a place where people left money for the milkman in the glass empties on the front porch and never locked their front door unless they were on vacation.

I hope you find the humour in them."
