Just a short paragraph from my autobiography...not in competition Jerry....

"Langtree was to form a large part of my formative years and much learning took place whilst living there. I believe that most people do not place a whole lot of store in childhood as a learning area and consider that ones understanding and maturity comes much later. However, we learn how to smell, taste, hear, listen and feel as well as interpret all that goes on around us. We learn to respond to others, to make our own presence felt, to negotiate life with our family and friends and to handle what little independence (or lot of in some cases) we have at that age.
The only thing that we might have had difficulty with was handling responsibility in spite of the fact that our parents might have had great expectations of us".
