The Home Town
Though not actually born in Dryden, I spent all but the first nine months of my pre-adult life there. A pulp-and-paper town of 7,000 people, Dryden turned out to be a remarkably modern and forward-looking town, with a high school that supplied an education at least equal to that of the best schools in larger Canadian (or American) cities.
While I left for the big city as soon as I could, it would appear that small-town life left a substantial positive impression, because I have ended up in an even smaller community, though one much closer to larger urban centers.
