The chapters herein breathe back life to those lively times when Clydesdale Street ran proud with the bounty of innocence growing up. In memory to the life and times on Clydesdale Street, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. Never to be forgotten.

Schou Street School 1952 The Broadview Gang
Thanks to Tony Pleasants who found his 1952 Class Photo. Yes many of the characters of the stories included are in this photo. Even I am located in this group! Hard to imagine. Tony and I met in summer of 2013 attempting to remember those amazing days. There were a few good laughs.
Some of us survive! Schou Street School Reunion in 2015 on the reopening of this legendary school to classroom adult programs. Members of the Dyak family from Clydesdale Street.

About Me
- Robert (Bobby) Tuss
- Just one of the 'Kids of Clydesdale Street'. The life and times when innocence and wonder filled our days. A reflection on how the generations have changed with time, and more how a little street disappeared resurfacing as a gateway artery to and out of Vancouver British Columbia Canada. Under the asphalt we remain and young dreams, aspirations and passing time mold both our journey and ultimate destiny. Enjoy. Clydesdale Street could be your own street. Anywhere. Your own youth. Your own reality. A great time it was. Kicking stones, make believe, simple pleasures brought happiness and the carefree vision on our world.
