Age 11 – 1988
Posted by admin in Past Halloweens
Grade 7 – Age 11
I REMEMBER WHAT I WAS!! I dressed up as Ozma of Oz, after the queen of the Oz series (an offshoot of the Wizard of Oz) that was my favorite reading series, other than the Hardy Boys, the 3 Investigators and Enid Blyton ( the Secret 7 and the Fabulous 5) amoung others. My classmates didn’t have any clue who I was, they just thought I was a princess.
My dad still drove us around trick or treating, but this was to be the last year. Big step…
I started collected the Halloween week comics in the Vancouver Sun that year. They came free with each Saturday edition of the paper, which we had a subscription of. This is when I started noticing how beautiful the autumn weather was and (don’t laugh too hard) started writing poetry about it. This is also the first year I started taping the Halloween specials on the telly because I didn’t want to wait a whole year before watching it again.
