“Once upon a time was a ‘wery’ nice time; monkey chew tobacco and spit out lime.”

So once upon a time there were hellos and goodbyes.

Adieu to "66" archival series. Adieu to 2024.

It is only fitting in this season that the final blog image contain a holiday scene, which is that of the blog writer as a UWindsor student at the annual Laurier Hall floor Christmas Party (early 1980s).

Santa and elves were always in attendance at the festive occasion.

My roomie, Juliette Storr (Dr), and I also placed in the Door Decoration Contest.

And as promised, in this final edition of the "66" series I give you a taste of yesteryear's photos from the personal archives of CARISAn, Andrea Henery-Rohlehr, 
whose collection was donated to the UWindsor Archives and Special Collections at Leddy Library, Windsor, ON, Canada.
