You know life is strange and wondrous.
It was late and my mind (usually filled with thoughts of past and present),recalled Wilfred. So with technology what it is today…I decided to make a quick name search.
Sadly I found Wilfred, like I have found a few friends of the past.
So at this point I’d really just like to say I remember him quite fondly as the fastest runner with a most unique style. He proved to me(also very fast) that whether you’re pigeon- toed or straight-toed….it’s your heart that wins the race. Wilfred had heart, speed and a face that entirely smiled.
I went to Richmond Elementary School with him and obviously he left a positive & notable mark on my soul.
I never saw him again after Richmond, & went on to compete and represent Victoria, BC & Canada in sport. I never forgot Wilfred’s uncanny ability….he taught me to push myself.
I’m happy I got the chance to know Wilf, race with him and as a girl, try to leave an impression at Recess while on the football field …a place Wilfred ruled with a natural & gentle strength.
Kind regards to his family. My prayers tonight include you.
Debbie
PS: I wish I could see his face in the photo more clearly. I don’t have any of him. Just our school class photos, I’ll now be looking for.
