Everyone check out my sister Suzie's blog for my dads 15 minutes of fame. http://dorothygale.blogspot.com/. My dad grew up with John Ashton, who went on to star in many movies and tv shows. Most notably in my opinion as Detective Taggart in "Beverly Hills Cop". Click here for a list of all his accreditation's. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0039226/. They grew up right in Enfield and were friends throughout middle school and high school. Anyway, dad hasn't seen him since high school and John happened to be in Florida for a celebrity golf tournament. My dad ended up walking the course with John and was introduced to several celebrities. Don't ask me who, their mostly sports people so I forget. If anyones that interested I will ask Steve, he knows. After they got together and reminisced over some beers and saw each other again the next day. (It seems Dad had one too many as shown in the picture!) Suzie and her family were in FL while this was all going on so she got some pictures. Maybe Suz will blog about it some more, but dad says he had some really cool stories about celebs. He hangs out with Robert Di Nero sometimes (they did Midnight Run together) and he just did a movie (not yet out yet) directed by Ben Afflack! And much to our surprise, we learned he once went out with my mother, right before my dad asked her out. Steve says "You guys could have been celebrity children like Paris Hilton!" Hahahaha
