Children of Pleasant River Settlement

Laurie's Hayfield

Betty Anne Colp: I encountered my first writer’s block in 1953. My Grade 4 homework from the little Colpton schoolhouse: Write a poem. I climbed over that block... with the help of Elsie, my mother ... and have been writing ever since. Like my father's tales, most of what I write is true. And the poem? Well, it was called: The Puppet. The memory of a nine-year-old is a wonderful thing . . .
