History class with Old Joe HauntInventions of true ignorance

Marshall: There was great unrestDouble English Period: Phil Dixon

‘What you end up remembering is not always what you have witnessed. What you have witnessed is your objectivity and

what you end up remembering is your subjectivity.

Tony: I need to write briefly to a few incidents that have grown into anecdotes, to some approximate memories which time has
