Glamorgan History

Memories of Glamorgan and its Neighbourhood School

By Glenn P. Michell, whose family lived at 4208-45th Street SW from November 1958 to November 1997
Written April 2008 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the opening of Glamorgan Elementary School

Preamble: All of my life I have had an interest in my “local” community wherever I have lived and participated. I also have a gift of remembering what most people would call trivial events and happenings. Although I no longer live in Calgary, I visit frequently, including friends in Glamorgan. I knew this was the year the elementary school turns 50 and I would like to be able to pass on memories about the neighbourhood in its earlier years. From my memories, which do have some gaps, and perhaps one-sided inaccuracies about a few things, I have attempted to write here my recollections of what I experienced or others shared with me about Glamorgan and its school, as well as the community and city of the era I grew up. If I was to dedicate this to anyone, I guess it should be to my late grade one teacher, Mrs. Kevol, who first taught me reading and writing starting back at Glamorgan School in the fall of 1970.
