I wish he would be alive today!

Pleased to meet "Kevin & Daisy" of the "Pet Project" TV show!

Kevin & Daisy of Pet Project - Season 3 photo!

MCO's Queen Victoria's Living Statue - Poising with Kevin of "Pet Project"

Both of us enjoy performing, but yet there's another unique "bond". I was touched by his wonderful "Boston Terrier": Daisy, as I too have fond memories of my beloved friend... my "Boston Terrier": Ace who was a great partner and in some ways, an acting teacher with many unique facial expressions, that made me constantly smile!

As the saying going... Dogs are often man's best friend and in memory of Ace... I know that's very true!

"We meet again..."

Throughout the years,

it's always fun to

"clown-around"

with talented performers...

Canada's First Sir John A. Macdonald Statue (1893) meets...

Canada's one and only
Sir John A. Macdonald's Living Statue (1997)

Hamilton, Ontario was the first city to erect a Statue of Sir John A. Macdonald.

As a born-Hamiltonian, it was a great feeling to create and then perform in front of the "first" statue of this Canadian icon!

For 18 years of dedication and support to Hamilton...

Thank you!
