There may be some slight variations as I veer off to find food, etc. I also spent much time at Victoria Park in Kitchener as a teenager (1969 - 1970) so I may take a side trip to see the park again. I did most of my growing up in Kitchener and it would be good if I stumbled across some old acquaintances. I am also looking forward to meeting friends in Stratford.
