For this episode, I interview Graham Winter, a recent new-resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Graham was born and raised in Port Credit, has been a Guelphite for 30+ years, and taught high school English in Galt for 30+ years up until his retirement. Born during WWII, with parents that lived and worked through WWI, and older siblings born during the depression, Graham talks about Port Credit during his childhood , and reflects on his parents' and siblings' generation before him, how things changed in education from his own experiences going through school, to his experiences teaching it, and how things have changed again in the time since. Graham and I bond over our shared love of high school english, and shared empathy for a younger generation facing big life choices with fewer clear paths to financial stability. It's an interesting and cathartic conversation and I’m very grateful to Graham for sharing with us!
