I remember the Ekdahl boys, every one in our year knew Michael, he could be So naughty ! He really had a mind of his own and didn't really understand why he had to do some of the crazy things the nuns expected us to do. I remember him refusing to behave when sister Bertrand wanted us to practice dancing with brooms, she was so cross with him! I'm glad things worked out well for them.

from left, Stephen, Michael and Phillip Ekdahl. Michael the oldest was the very first boy at Saint Pius school to get a healing ten speed bike. He saved up the money from his paper run. My father used to say to me those Ekdahl boys have got dollar signs in their eyes, they all grew up to be very financially successful. Michael used to ambush me every day after school on that bike and throw Karaka berries and other things at me, I was scared of him, I know him as an adult now, he apparently did this because he had a crush on me and feels very embarrassed by his boyish behaviour.
