June 16 Friday

At 12:15 Chris came over, sat in the basement. He had slides taken May 31 in Ottawa. About 12:40 Gillian came, she had on overalls (he). About 1 Ralph and Andy came, we talked about horror stories we had read. At 1:50 Danielle and 2 girls came and left at 2:05. About 3 Don came. Ralph, Chris and I went to the reckroom and planned what we would do tonite because he didn't want Don around anyone's house [he'd changed in the past couple of months, becoming more of a trouble maker. In fact one night after everyone had left (and my parents were away) he tried to sneak back into my house. It scared the hell out of me]. Chris and Gillian left at 3:50, Don and Ralph had a hockey game with plastic bowling balls and a sword. Andy, Don and Ralph left at 4:10. nite- got picked up by Ralph. Gillian, Chris, Andy, Ralph and Danielle in the car. Went to the Dorval Community Center, sat outside. Fooled around with a safe Claude gave us (Don and Claude came and went) [we must have been cold to them]. Didn't do much. Andy bought a cap of mesc and he and I split it (nothing happened). Once Ralph, Danielle, Chris and I were talking and I told Chris what Dave had rated [?] and said about him on June 4, Chris said he would like to "smash his head in" [what Dave had said is not recorded, strange the date is. At least Ralph thought Chris's bravado was laughable]. Went inside the corridor leading to the Shire [a coffee house, where live music was presented] and talked, then outside and played 'Crack the Whip'. Chris, Danielle, Ralph and I go a ride at 10:45 with Ralph, Andy went with Gillian.
