Had her kittens (laughs). When the mine closed too, we got pretty well all the caps I think. Some of them were kind of wild. My mother opened the attic thing down there and you could see up that little door out there.

Interviewer: So you guys traveled quite a lit-- quite a bit? ... Speaker: Yeah. We were overseas a lot. And we were down the sta-- ah, pretty well around Canada and the States and we were enough-

With my grandma on my dad's side, watched the Leafs game if there's- and then my mom's- on my mom's side, she pretty well took care of me a lot of time when I was younger so.

Interviewer: Did you have a favourite teacher at E-C-C-S? Speaker: Ah, well, pretty well everyone's favourite teacher there was Don-Martin.

So like said, pretty well everything that we do, he's- he's pretty much involved, like I said, he's pretty well, yeah, he's pretty well brother- my- my parents consider him like as a stepson type-thing.

Actually one of my favourite teachers that everybody hated, grade-ten civics, Mister-Clank. ... Alright, well I think he's moved away now, but in grade-nine, everyone like just hated him. He used to be the gym teacher at the time, he was pretty well (inc) in gym and-stuff-like-that but probably like one of the smartest guys you could have for civics.

Interviewer: What have you worn? ... Speaker: Ah, no, no I don't even remember it. I remember doing the toga party, that's pretty much fucking (inc) pretty much- well and- junks almost well- pretty well shown in that damn party.

He said, there's- there's not much happening in southern Ontario. It's just, you-know, in some- in some places, they- they- we're pretty well getting finished seeding up here, but down there, in some places, they have barely started.

Interviewer: Who taught you to ski? Speaker: Oh pretty well, self-taught. ... Yeah. You just get on there. We took a few lessons. You-know-

Interviewer: How about your neighbours. Have they been staying together or do you find that divorce is really rampant among your generation too? Speaker: No pretty well our generation most of them are still together.

I think a lot of the- lot of it is drug-related you-know and they pretty well know who the drug dealers are and where they are and every once in a while they are able to catch them and pick them up and put them away for a while and ah- they're d-- domestic disputes that ah-

Ever-- pretty well every grave that I could see, they don't carry the bodies there in a hearse, they carry it on their shoulders. Maybe four big men carry it on their shoulders, that's how they'd do it up 'til now.

Interviewer: I know in the old days people talked about playing in the slimes, you ever do that? ... Speaker: Yeah but I mean that's not much fun. It's pretty well just flat and if it's really wet I guess you could sink but it's not as fun as like going back behind the mine and-that where there's like big mud holes.

Interviewer: You guys just pick all day? Speaker: Pretty well, yeah.

Speaker: Last school there was ah, one two three, four- there was eight- eight classrooms in our school. ... Interviewer: One for each grade? Speaker: Pretty well, yeah. But ah, it was- it was pretty good. Enjoyed it.

They wouldn't let nobody in the ah- in the army-cadets but that's where he wants to be. ... That's what they- they- they try to teach you the- your pretty well on your own- ... And what you got, you have to survive.

Plus I know a few guys in Haileybury ah, (inc)- he ah- he went into the army. He was there pretty well same time I was.

Interviewer: Did you know right away? Speaker: Pretty well.

Yeah, pretty well the whole summer, we'd go there unless I take a week off to go to Timmins or-something. But through the winter, yeah, we're always in Timmins (laughs). It was nice.

Speaker: Bottle-hunting, we used to do that too, yeah. Interviewer: Is that the kind the of stuff you'd do as a kid to get money or- Speaker: I- pretty well. Yeah, because m-- my mom- there was a big family so it's not like they can give you money all the time, like she made sure that we had money for schooling and if we needed stuff ...
