This just in from my friend Gary (April 25, 2011):
When I was 17 or 18, not sure, at Earl Haig and I hung out for a short period with Gord McMillan (Gord's Rock) only because he dated Judy Parsons and she was a friend. I had a part time job, borrowed my Dad's car, ran the Willow Y Dances and did not have a lot of money. While I was like that, Gord drove this (this is the exact model and colour), and I had my Dad's 55 Chevy, right.
John Dowson,
ReplyDeleteDo you know the Convent on Bayview ave just south of Steeles, east side ? Before that was built it was great party/drinking location. One could drive right down to the Don river. Do you remember what we called that place ?
Do you remember “Fritz the faggot waiter “ who worked the late shift at the Prince Nova ?
What was the name of the drive in restaurant just north of Steeles on Yonge ?
Remember Bobby Taylor and Freddy Stott smashing up their car at Steeles and Bayview while being chased by North Yorks finest( pre metro days). Bayview in those days jogged at Steeles.... They didn’t.
Good News from Norm Ovens, He went to a neuro specialist who gave him a clean bill of health, no sign of a stroke etc. He is quite relieved.
Mussy, that nickname Pops was a good example of clearheaded, clean living, ingenious, creative Willowdale knuckle heads that we were. Thank goodness we grew up........................ lately

I remember Gord (Gord's Rock) when he used to drive a pink Cadillac. I can't remember if it was a convertible, but it may have been a '52 or '53. (?) I also remember Judy Parsons. I think she lived on either Florence Ave. or Johnson Ave. at Lansing. Anyway, I do recall taking her out on the back of my old '48 HD-74.
