I was born in London, England in 1950 and moved to Canada in November 1955. My wife Elaine and I live in Woodstock, Ontario.
An avid movie-goer and always interested in writing, I graduated with an Honours BA in English and History from McMaster University in 1977.
A professional writer since 1976 in print media, radio, public relations(public and private sectors) and now online agencies, my areas of interest are entertainment, business, agriculture and general reporting. I have been a photographer since 1980.

“A suitably strange scene from Cuckoo on a Choo Choo from 1952, considered as one of the most surreal Three Stooges shorts and reportedly the one Larry Fine enjoyed the most. Courtesy of the Stephen Cox Collection.”
Geoff Dale, Much More Than A Stooge: Shemp Howard

“Shemp moved to Los Angeles sometime after January 1937, when he filmed his last Joe Palooka short with Vitaphone. He was relocated by September of that year when he filmed the Hollywood Roundup at Columbia. Even intense research work by”
Geoff Dale, Much More Than A Stooge: Shemp Howard

“The oddball shorts like Cuckoo on a Choo Choo and Sweet and Hot provided Larry with the greatest possible chances for departing from his routine ‘second Stooge’ role, over a slightly sustained duration,” he added.”

message 1: by Geoff

Geoff Dale ‘I thought it was an intriguing idea’ said Eric Lamond, Larry’s eldest grandchild. ‘The book is an interesting look at a life if Larry had pursued a different path.’
Lamond, director of marketing with Los Angles based C3 Entertainment, Inc. The Three Stooges® brand owner, says even though the premise is mostly fiction, it shines another light on Larry’s many talents – as a gifted violinist, a versatile comic/singer/dancer that, during his vaudeville days, had the likes of the great Al Jolson laughing with delight and, of course, his rarely explored prowess in the ring as an amateur boxer.
