How do you guys remember what you did that long ago? That young, I probably wasn't in the states yet. I probably rode my bike around the neighborhood and played with robot toys and bb guns.

Assuming most people generally start kindergarten at age 5 - you'd be in the 2nd grade at 7.
I only recall a few memorable highlights from that age...not a whole lot of details or specifics. We were living in Oshawa, Ont. at the time - down near the lake. I can remember how the ice cream truck went up and down the street during the summer months - and that I used to buy these plastic orange baseballs filled with orange sherbet ice cream (with a piece of bubblegum in the middle). We also had what they called a 'bookmobile' truck that would come around - basically it was a portable library where you could borrow books without having to make a trip to the library.
My parents often took me to see movies at the Mustang Drive-In in Lindsay (think it was Lindsay) back then. I also spent a lot of time at the Simcoe Hall Boys Club (sorta like a YMCA for kids back then) - my father was the exec. director at the time...and I always had free and unlimited access to the gym, pool, games room, radio room, craft workshop, etc.
