A couple of years back, I was doing a lot of running around with Eric (galleries - profile), and whenever his buddy David (galleries - profile) from the States would cross the border, then the 3 of us would get together and take a lot of photos. Those days seem kinda long gone. Since then, I have sold my house and met the Bear of my dreams (that's right... Roger - galleries - profile). As for Eric, he too sold his house, he moved around a bit from place to place until he finally settled into a condo in Ottawa. As for David, he tried to get a Canadian citizenship awhile back and I think it's still in process, but for now he works at a Big & Tall store in Albany, NY.
Anyhow, they sent me some recent photos and I thought I would share them with you - check them out here. They are still a cute couple. As an aside, I do see Eric from time to time altho we haven't worked on anything in awhile. Here's hoping that we'll come up with some new material in the new year.

His name is Chris W. Knight and he is the author of 'Son of Scarface'. Actually, Chris is the grandson of Al Capone, and he has definitely inherited his grandfather's Bearish bulk and good looks. However Chris didn't have it easy while growing up, and he has written a book all about it.
Here's from his site SonOfScarface.com: "A provocative story, 'Son of Scarface' is a young man's search for his father's mysterious past. The simple, loving and honest parent had a double life and secret history that placed his unsuspecting family in a troubling legacy. In his autobiography, Chris Knight details how he uncovered the truth behind a family secret he heard as a young boy at his father's funeral. An unbelievable story, his father life his entire life with deep secrets rivaling fiction. Growing up in a broken home, Chris and his sister were physically abused by their mother, whose actions were perhaps an attempt to safeguard her children from the truth that their grandfather was American's most infamous gangster Al Capone - Scarface".
Check out his blog so as to get know Chris a little better, and if you want to meet him, he will be at the upcoming Bear Trek (May 1st thru the 4th) that is being held by the Bear Albany group of New York (TubeBear profile - article). He will be presenting a one hour Q&A session about his book and his life as the grandson of Al Capone. Chris will be selling autographed copies of his book at Bear Trek and donating the proceeds to the Bear Life Fund to benefit this year's charities (from AmericanBadBear - TubeBear profile).

This must be a site to see - a bunch of people running down their streets in their Speedos... but yes... it's true... it's time for the 2nd Annual Santa Speedo Sprint in which guys will be running up and down Lark Street in Albany, NY all for the sake of charity.
Some of the Bear Albany guys should be there as well as James who modeled for bear-pics awhile back (James' gallery is here) - you can even sponsor him (just send him an email). I hope someone will have their Sony or Kodak handy so as to film the husky guys running down the streets in tight swimwear. It's a fantasy of mine, what can I say...
