My best friend Jay Koch rescued this newspaper article from his flooded basement. The article was originally printed Tuesday, August 16th, 1983.

I can't read the article without my reading glasses, but I gather from the title that you like to sing. Who knew? I learn something about you every day. When I visit Toronto, I try to bring a guitar so we can do a campfire-type sing-alongs. "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore" and that kind of thing. :-)

Fred... :o) ... That article is fantastic - I'm still smiling 10 minutes after reasing it! Chat later. L & L & N.

wanted to sing, who would have known... there is still time my friend, still time....
Posted by: Anton | July 31, 2007 at 04:34 PM
Hang on a second people! It say's "would rather sing" it doesn't say "can sing". I've heard old Ferguson sing'n "ahem" on more than one occasion and many an adjective can be used to describe it but singing certainly ain't one of them! On one occasion I can only liken it to a goat being castrated or an animal being hit by a car! Hey while I'm on the subject if your ever in the car with Fred and he'd be tapping away to the rhythm of a song. Watch'm he's the only black man I've met with "no" rhythm! He's like the black equivalent of Steve Martin in "The Jerk" Lol
Aaaaah but we still luv ya Freddie boy! ;o) TJ.

I knew you in the 8th grade at Montgomery Academy, and you really were amazing. I can remember when you were having your first ideas for your three dimensional modeling software. Finding your blog made me feel good for you. I am glad to have visited here. Cheers!
