You-know, when you're driving a truck sitting down there all day, and when you come through here and get your supper at night, you're just want to go lay on the couch. Well, I never did that. Well, (inc) had a garden down here. And if you go down there and hoe in the garden for a half an hour, you're not a bit tired.

Like who talks about their subject when they're eating supper? Only the physicists. They're the only one's who every talk about. Like I don't talk about, we talk about philosophy, but not necessarily what they were studying, just philosophy we're really interested in. No one talks about their life science class or English class. The only people talk about it are physicist.

I can't tell you exactly how old I was but um, we ate in the breakfast-room. And um, breakfast, lunch and supper. And I didn't sit down at a dinner table with my parents- I, I must have been somewhere in my, oh, early teens.

Speaker" But their Imperial-room was pretty special. Interviewer: Was it? Speaker: Well yeah I can remember going there- I-mean, not many people I knew went- well we went to this supper- club at the Imperial-room. And Lorne-Green who used to- he was a broadcaster.

And they're acting differently, and they're dressing differently, I'm sure there's quite a transformation when they go home, and they're having supper with their parents.

Speaker: We'd go down on the streetcar, ah sometimes we went down with my dad. Ah, he would drive us down and pick us up for suppertime to come home. So that he worked around down in that area, so we were all right that way.

Speaker: At that time of year. Um, we'd go out and play in the snow or something-like-that and um, then we would have supper at the farm as well. Interviewer: What would you have for supper? The traditional meal? Speaker: Ah, ye-- Yeah but it would be the left-overs of the turkey.

I know one thing too that I think was (inc) back then but circumstances were different. We always gathered- we- we nearly always were there for supper, you-know. And Sundays was always a roast-beef dinner night-

Like there- there weren't hockey games that the kids had to go out and play. And there- well, four girls. We didn't play hockey, but- it was a rule. Like we were always there for supper, on particularly Sunday. But Saturdays, we were- we were always in- in too. And the hockey game on the radio for my dad.

The radio was never on. But after supper with Foster-Hewitt, that was always a ritual.

Speaker: And my wife had run across to do some shopping after supper, and when she come home, she says, "(inc) and pick up the groceries at Miller's," she said, "Because I- I couldn 't ask him to come out on a night like this, it 's raining so much."

So anyways, that was fine and dandy. And at the supper table, my mother just happened to mention that she was down at Luke's-Drugstore and- and Luke has got these here steel plates on his door and everything.

When I come home, you-know, I come in and the first- the first thing I take was this box of the money in it, you-know, under my arm and I go in the house, you- know, and Lorraine has my supper ready and everything. She says, "Well how did the books go?" "Oh," I said, "Not bad."

We weren't inconvenienced too much, no. Luckily I had just had supper. I'd- I'd prepared- you-know, so I was alright (inc). So, I just got- I- I keep some candles- old candles handy, and I- I was all right, yeah.

My grandmother owned Steven's-Café at the corner of Eighth-Street in New-Toronto. Um, it was for the working-class, you had all the factory workers come down for their lunch and suppers and so-on. And my mother worked there, and my aunt- my aunt worked there and so- on. I never did.

So ah, anyway we met- I was- I said "Well I'm taking your sister to Su-- we're going for supper tonight at Swiss-Chalet" and he knew the area 'cause he had worked down here, so he came down- I gave him the address. He came here, but I had to go up there to see my daughter, and I had told her about it on the phone.

And my youngest son knew but my oldest boy didn't know and ah, so we met John at Swiss-Chalet and had a supper. And I looked at my son-in-law, the Chinese one and he ah- I said "Well do you have any doubts that this is my son?" He said "I'm looking at the same face" (laughs). So there's no doubt about it.

... we were driving along the, ah, I-seventy-five one night a- around supper time and it was around a town called Lima-Ohio- it was either Lima-Ohio or Lima-Kentucky I forget which one- anyway, um- and there was this sign outside the Holiday-Inn and it said "Kids under fourteen eat free" so we- immediately Jack (inc) (makes a squealing noise)

They said to have two drinks if you want so- what is wrong? (whispers)- so, um- anyway (laughs), so we ordered these drinks and this food and had this huge meal and then we went, ah, after supper was over- and I was about- I think I was fifteen at the time or sixteen- I must have had my three-sixty-five which they call a G-one now. Yeah. So, ah, I was just- had a learner's-permit to drive which is important to know.

So, ah, I was just- had a learner's-permit to drive which is important to know. So, anyway we- after supper was over us kids went outside and to fiddle around and Jack and Berry stayed at the table- had their coffee and smoke and then they, ah- all of a sudden grammy comes out and she's "Okay get in the car" and I said "Okay" ...
