When I started this blog in april I had no idea at all where I was going to. I wanted to publish my manuscript to still the hunger of my Dutch friends and give them an inside view of my life during those roary 80's on the filmset and beyond.
Due to my buddy Nick I desided to have my story done in English as well for him and some friends in Scandinavia. I was really surprised by the wide spread red dots on my Clustercounter which I had installed over a week ago. This inspired me so much to keep this blog running, but made curious as well cos these dots represent readers. From the east- to the westcoast in the US, the UK and even India. Now the very latest dot appeared on Korea were an old movie-veteran found his domicile in or around Seoul some years ago.
Of course I had heard of Don Gordon, we even happened to shoot some movies together, till 86. From there I never saw Don again, he had left for the states as I was told. I liked the guy's attitude, rough but fair and a real lady-killer. He seemed to have a lot of good friends on the sets. We never got close though, I mean there were hundreds of people on these filmsets and one sticks to his nearest buddiesmostly. I'm sure we smoked a dooby somewhere someday together with Nick. That's how we met.
I was so pleased to find me an e-mail sent by Don. He is running a blog also and had noticed the critical situation Nick was in at the moment and shared his emotions with me. I was so glad to hear he's offering his very appreciated help to Nick and Annie.
God bless you dude.
The story he is writing on his blog is amazing. I advice you to read his "Korean War Baby".
