When I was seventeen, I went to Morehead City, North Carolina, from
my home in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada. Helped to prepare a
twenty seven foot saiboat. Cleaning and preparing the hull and putting
a Volvo diesel auxillary engine in it.
Spent two weeks there working with some southerners. Somehow I
started talking with a souther accent from hearing and talking with
southerners for that time. I can't fake that accent.... it came
natural. Lost it shortly after getting back to Canada.

Hitchhiked back to Canada, carrying a duffle bag and a suit
case..... got a ride in West Virginia from a guy with a bottle of
whiskey on the seat that was half empty....
He says "Where're you headed?" I said "Canada".
He says "Oh... you got your notice huh?"
He thought I was an American and got my draft notice, and was headed
for Canada to escape the draft.. Vietnam was still going on.
I said, "No. I'm Canadian and headed home" he said "Sure, sure...
you're Canadian....Ha. ha.... ha... "
Had to show him I.D. before he would believe me.
