The Engleson Files

Been thinking a lot about my old home town and birthplace of Grande Prairie, Alberta these days. July 10, 1972 I was born in the thriving metropolis of GP but 6 months later moved down to Penticton, BC; and then halfway through my grade 10 year our family (minus Jim) came full circle and moved back. I finished high school (sort of) at Grande Prairie Composite High School and moved back to British Columbia shortly after a failed attempt at college life - but I had a lot of fun trying! For those who have never been, Grande Prairie is an absolutely wonderful place and I am missing it a lot these days. While living there I had so many great experiences and met a lot of wonderful people. Sadly my time came to an awkward end with a few friends which damaged other relationships I had as well. I was young and stupid and did some really dumb things which I desperately wish I could take back. From this, I have fallen completely out of touch with a few, managed to make brief contact with others and wish wholeheartedly to re-solidify some of the other friendships that I lost; not too sure if it will ever happen but I certainly hope it can. Anyways, today I just want to cleanse myself a little and tip my hat to the city of Grande Priaire and to all the people I met and shared a laugh, or two, with during my time there. Thanks!!
