I went to school with Gary McLean in Glace Bay Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, at St Michael's High. We were in the same class Grade 10, and we became good friends.

I left my little village of Port Morien in 1962 when my family moved to Ontario, and I had not seen him again until 1986 or 87, when he and Blair did a show, in Brampton Ontario. I went back stage that night and we talked for awhile, unfortunately that was the last time I saw him, he was a great guy,

I never even heard him swear when I knew him, his stage act seemed out of character from the guy I knew. Blair was a pretty good artist, and I found a drawing of his in a History book at St Michael,s that he had done in the margin when he went there, I was so impressed with it Gary had Blair draw me a cartoon character and brought it in to School for me.

I was shocked to hear of his passing, I just found out yesterday that Gary had passed away in 2001, when I heard that Blair died. God Bless them. R.I.P.
