We were on Fireside, WMEX in Quincy, Massachusetts. Hosted by Jim Callahan and his beautiful (in every way) wife, producer, and co-host Nancy, we had a great time. Lots of laughter. Garry had the opportunity to tell a whole bunch of his celebrity anecdotes to a new audience and he sparkled, as always.
Again, he heard the familiar refrain: “You should write a book!”
He really should.
All the pictures were taken with the Pentax Q7 and (mostly) the f2.8 5-15mm “standard” zoom.

Garry looks like he’s having a great time and I’m sure that it was a fascinating broadcast.

Garry “met” the show’s host on Facebook. He had heard of Garry, but they had never met. Which is funny because I was sure Garry had met and/or interviewed everyone in Massachusetts and at least half of the rest of New England.

Great photos, and to agree with everyone – Garry should write a book. Do you have a recording of this???

Maybe that’s the easy way to write that book – interviews. ??

Right now, I’m collecting the posts he writes. That’s something. But ultimately, if it’s going to happen he needs to sit down with an editor/co-writer and get it organized. And I don’t think I’m the right person.

By jove, you’ve got it! Take all the blogs/interviews I’ve done and do a thread with some back stories. Thanks for the reminder.

Garry needs a ghostwriter. He needs to be able to talk and have someone else do the organizing, formatting, etc. That would be me, but I don’t know if a wife should do this kind of project with a husband. It is perilous. Also, there are things he would NEVER tell me because I’m me.

Writing a book is a great idea! It records a certain period of time in which we played a part and it would be a shame to lose it. Why don’t you go for it Garry. Peter did – “Memoirs of a Hayseed Physicist” by Peter Martel.

We have ALL been urging him to write. At least I’ve gotten him to write a few posts. He really should. He has great stories to tell. But you know, you can lead a horse to water?
Is your husband’s book available anywhere? Send a link??

Thank you so much. His book was sited in the former President Jimmy Carter’s memoirs because he came up to clean up a spill at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories many years ago.

I think you will get a big kick out of it, Garry. Also, I think you will be documenting a certain period of time in your profession with some very unique experiences. I can’t wait to read it.

I can find out. I know they have a strong presence on Facebook. I will check with Nancy. We just got back from my granddaughter’s HS graduation and we are pooped. HOURS of the worst speeches EVER and the worst delivery — the off key band and singers who aren’t good enough to earn their own shower. I’ll send a note to Nancy. If there IS an archive, I’d like to hear it too.
