  1. I also was born in Canada. Lived in Ottawa during my younger years. Moved to CA with my family in 1952. Sang with Jack Jones, Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, and others ‘back in the day’. Due to M.S. I had to quit performing. I’ve seen you a few times. Good to hear you. Please post if you’re ever in Denver, Colorado. Would love to see you, and catch up.
