I just read the obituaries in the Lethbridge Herald, as I do every day. I just read where Kenneth Gregus passed away at the age of 60 at St. Michael's Care Centre in Lethbridge. I know this person very well. He was my boyfriend in Grade two at Dr. Hamman and our teacher was Mrs. MacDonald. I have a story to tell you about Kenny Gregus.

Kenny was a very good looking boy. He was from the Gregus family from Barnwell, and not the Gregug family that lived close to us on the Red Trail in Taber. Anyway, as it turned out one day, Kenny sat in the very last row in my row in our classroom. Each week a monitor was assigned to pass out the papers for the day, collect the work papers and do special duties for the teacher, like wipe off the blackboards, take messages to the office and such. Well the particular week that I remember so well, I was the monitor for the row for the week. I always tried to get the attention of Kenny, so while I was passing out the papers for the day and I had come to the end of the row and completed passing out the papers, I took my dress and covered the skirt of my dress over Kenny's head. The teacher caught me and scolded me good and I had to stay in from recess for a week. Kenny Gregus was my boyfriend and I was only trying to get his attention to like me too.

I shall always remember Kenny Gregus for that.
