I ran across this scan of an old newspaper photograph,
which shows the very much younger, Brian Morton.
If I am guessing correctly,
because there was not any date, associated with the image,
it was taken after 1985 and before 1989.
He really hasn't changed a lot, over the years,
he just thickened up a bit and these days,
except that he has more hair,
he always makes me feel as though I am in the presence of
"The Kingpin",
of Marvel Comics fame.
On a different topic, I had forgotten about the old checkerboard, black an white tiled floors, that were a part of the Silver Snail's ambience!
What I wouldn't give, for the chance to go back to when the photograph was taken and change a few decisions! LOL
Hi Chris! Paul Pintner, ex of Snail Eglinton, sent me this blog post while he was looking for miscellaneous Snail stuff after the passing of Bruce Peck last week. I don't know how well you knew Bruce, but I'm pretty sure you would have crossed paths at least once or twice. You're very sweet to think of me as a kingpin, but I have to say I think I was more like Forrest Gump, lucky to be in the right place more times than was reasonable. Looking forward to reading more of this blog, hope you are well!
