Big John, Mr. Bennett, Malone and Hutch in the bandstand, or gazebo, on the New Milford town green, Sept 11, 2004.

Gerry Malone is fond of horses, as we all know. What we did not know was that he had been studying riding with Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. This shot's so glorious, it had to be really big. If you click this one to see it bigger, you may want to use the F11 key to toggle your browser to full-screen display. F11 again toggles it back.

Big John, Gerry and Mr. Bennett made an appearance at St. Rita's for the 2004 St. Patrick's Day bash.

Big John demonstrates the Unicorn Dance to the young ones at St Rita's.

Intrepid aviators prepare to go in search of Amelia Earhart.
Carrie McGrath snapped this shot shortly before the plane took off, never to be seen again.
Fran and Ed's Fourth of July bear is now partying with Amelia. I wish he'd send a letter home!

UPDATE July 2003: Not content with a mere letter, Spangle (the bear) has flown the plane back to Ocean City. Finding a castle on the old landing strip, he parked it a block away by the 3rd Street Dough Roller.

ANOTHER UPDATE July 2004: The plane is now back in front (what?) of Shenanigans, facing the other way (ocean on the left, to port, that is to say, headed South).

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, Big John and Linda.
