Know Your Neighbor! Alan #508

KYN (Know Your Neighbor)
We are a family! Get it? Kin! I fear being too subtle!
This is an on-going series by and about SandPeople. Today's victim...errrr...subject is Alan, #508. Alan is one of the biggest contributors to the blog via comments, and a familiar sight pedaling around the park.

Stevie is an excellent Petanque player, and let's not forget Joey!
Joey is well known by the tennis players. That bouncing tennis ball is a dog's dream.

This is Joey with his good friend Zack, a Golden Retriever owned by Stevie's sister.

Age 72; retired Chartered Accountant (CPA to Americans) - specialised in taxation.


Avid reader and cyclist (as many will already know).

Likes: family is #1.
Dislikes: phony people.


Oui, je parle francais mais pas aussi bien
que les autres qui vien de Quebec.
We have been going to Sandpipers for 10 years (but missed 3); we love NOT having to shovel snow!!, other than that we do much what we would do at home.

Married to Stevie for 48 years; 4 children (boy, girl, boy, girl); 8 grandchildren (5 boys, 3 girls); 1 great-grandchild (girl).

Full blooming Crab Apple tree in our back yard, back home. See, it doesn't snow ALL the time!






This was taken at the 1st Sandpiper's Nude Olympics.
I set up the petanque events, both the tournament and the skills events, in 2000.




East Haven Sun Club (near Ottawa) at a corn roast. Stevie and I were the "King & Queen of the roast, also 2000.

Suez, are you having difficulty recruiting neighbours to know??

I don't mind being the only one but it would be much nicer to have some company.
