Dear Editor:
Re: Handsworth Teen May Face Charge, March 8 news story.
I guess this is not as permissive a society after all. Back in 1948, the Sixth Field Company, Royal Canadian Engineers, had recruited a number of us North Vancouver High School students into that reserve outfit after the Second World War. All of us had booby-trap training, and many of us had surreptitiously smuggled some booby-trap switches complete with small detonators into our high school and set them up to explode when doors were opened or with trip wires, etc. Great fun, and nobody to my knowledge was disciplined.
Sadly, NVHS is now long gone. Anybody else remember this?
