Our Brantford friend David Bailey looks great at 58. We particularly like the comparison photos Dave posted on his facebook page. The first shows him with a doggie when he was a kid and the second pix is more recent.
Ken Garrett is looking fashionably wonderful as ever on his birthday and what can we say about our friend Kerri Thomson-Fortier. She just keeps getting better looking each day.
And it's hard to believe that our buddy Dale Eckert turns 14 on January 29th.
Happy Birthday to all of you and to those we missed in our post.
I met Kerri Thomson-Fortier when we both worked at Troll Book Clubs, in the same department even (I was her supervisor) Kerri lives in Niagara Falls with her cat, Maggie, who looks very much like my cat JJ.
Roxanne Rinaldi (seen in our masthead) is another former Troll Book Club employee. We partied outside of work with pals Becky Lee & Terry Garner, I was "Charlie" and they were my "Angels"
David Bailey I met through his husband Jim [Triemstra] and I had met Jim when he lived in Niagara and hung out with some of the same friends and "animals" as I did.
Ken Garrett hung out at the local LGBT clubs in Niagara, like Gustos and Club Rendevouz, so we met through these places. Our big joke was that we have the same first name but that's where the similarity ends, as I'm very short while he's quite tall.
Chris Haynes worked at a graphic design studio above William J's Dining Lounge, where I was a waiter and bartender. Chris and his colleagues would come down for lunch and libations, and some weeks, come payday, many were forking over much of their hard-earned money paying off their bar tabs, extended to them by William J's manager Fred.
Dale Eckert is Ginny Eckert's son and Ginny and I worked together at William J's (and then Gustos) and were also roommates for a while, sharing our home with many cats and a crazy canine named Poppy.
