A MEADOW AND A HILL I grew up in a very special place, on Meadowbrook Farm, near the Annapolis Valley town of Middleton, over on the North Mountain, just below Victoria Vale, at The Sand Banks. - A Meadow and a Hill from the Bay of Fundy - The hill, behind the sunken meadow (which was just behind the house), obscured much of the view, but the beautiful blue water was visible on either side. Beyond the hill were 400 foot high sandbanks, descending to the beach. Everybody should grow up in such a place! Left school in my late teens to play music, eventually ending up in Vancouver. Came back east after having been away for 15 years, met Gayle Smith, a relationship which resulted in two beautiful girls, Alison and Amy (1979/1980), and now 8 grandchildren. ENTER
