Little Silver
Here's a shot of me as 'Little Silver,' the heir to the James Brown legacy, part of our 70's retro-spoof band Chunk-'O-Funk.
The Cousins
The three boys with Mikey, on our first trip to Jamaica, in Genge's yard. I always thought of the place as a garden of earthly delights. Nothing like it in Toronto.

Christmas 1982
Me, Paul and Guy on Christmas at home. Few people knew by then we were the most famous sweater models in the western hemisphere.

Sharp Dressed Men
Here's me and the bros, Paul and Guy on our way to Auntie Sun's wedding, via Vito Corleone's Young Men's Outfitters.
Dad w/Paul, Jim and Guy
Here's us with Dad, on our way to some
'fete'; check the far-out, groovy threads man. Not sure why Paul and Guy look so stiff, may they were tired from punching me, (note the scarring around left eye!). Actually, the photo was damaged a bit, but you can still make out my obvious joie de vivre and penchant for scene stealing.

Sweet Boi
Dad 'setting the standard' in what I beleive is the Ramphal estate in Georgetown. This clearly puts to rest any controversy about how 'de close don' mek de man!'

Paul,Jim,Guy w/Genge and Blossom
This is us with my Mom's Aunt (Genge) who raised her, at her estate in Jamaica. With us is my Great Aunt's maid, Blossom.
Mom's Ancestor from late 19th century
This photograph of Mom's ancestor was discovered by Paul through a now defunct Jamaican Geneaology website. Check the pictures section for a comparison shot of Mom, the resemblance is startling. One of my missions is to try and discover the name of my antecedent and Mom's long lost twin!
The Bros
With my brothers Paul and Guy, planning our conquest of the Planet of the Apes.

Guy and Christine's Wedding
A good shot of Paul, Nadine, Christine, Guy, Mom and me at Guy and Chrissie's wedding, except for my pony-bun, which I still say we could've airbrushed.
DisneyWorld
Here we are in front of Space Mountain the year it opened in 1976. The lineups were about an hour long, but worth every minute, as the ride completely blew my head off. It was short, but packed with the most incredible special effects I'd ever seen. And then 'Star Wars' opened later that summer; all in all a good time to be a nerdy sci-fi fan. I still have that camera case with it's original
Hockeys' Forgotten Heroes
Guy and I on our hockey team, 1971/72.
Check out the greasy dude behind my brother on the right; bet he really got on well with those sideburns. Look how much bigger the other goalie is compared to me, (size really does matter). I think the rest of the team wound up en masse as some sort of medical experiment involving Monsanto.

XMAS 1984
Me, Debbie, Angela, Guy, Paul, Greg and Dawn, with Mom taking the picture. I look so pasty because of my friend's annual Christmas Eve party the night (and very early morning) before. This picture was taken before the spring, and what the Neil's would term 'the chain-gang time,' or what we called 'the gardening chores.' Mom for some inexplicable reason, still refers to it as 'fun.'
Mom
Here's Mom in our very own Amber room, carefully dismantled and stored away during the energy crisis of the mid '70's.

UC Boi
Here's a great shot of Dad in UC colours. Always wondered what became of that jacket; still certain it might fit me pretty well.........

Inuit Bikers
A rare photo of Pauluskta, Jimglukti, and Guylakktak, our oft-forgotten Inuit cousins. This early love of so called 'extreme cycling' led to a dangerous liason with the Diablos Angelicos gang, and later a successful career in politics.
