At some point Linda, Jim and I slept in the attic room on Bly Street. I remember waking up and coughing. I could smell something burning. I turned on the light and our attic room was filled with smoke. I ran downstairs and woke mom and dad up. Dad told us to open all the windows and he went down to the furnace room. There was no fire, but I believe there was something wrong with the belt in the furnace and it was spewing out smoke. I know dad was able to take care of it and he repaired it the next day. Scary! I don’t know if Linda and Jim remember that incident.

School. I have been unable to determine if Jimmy went to kindergarten. Like all the other siblings, Jimmy started elementary school at Saint Boniface and went there through the eighth grade. Then because of the move to Merwood Drive, he attended high school at North Hills High.
Terri had the basement bedroom in the Merwood St house. She recalls that when Jim, a teenager at the time, came home late he would tap on her window, which was just above ground, to let him in. Apparently Jim did not have a key.
Jim moved out of Merwood Drive upon his marriage to Charlotte on August 9, 1976.
