PR Paul Charity Cycle Ride 2024

 


PR Paul will be doing a charity cycle ride to raise money for Cancer Support Community California Central Coast. 

PR said:

"As you may or may not already know I am now receiving treatment for CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) since August. Joy & I did this 27 mile bike ride last year so Joy signed us up again. Only problem I had not exercised since April due to the treatments I was receiving. It was suggested that I use an ebike. I said “Hell No”. So I started training 3 weeks ago as I started to feel like myself although I am still on a chemo medication (pills) for some time to come. I will try to livestream some of the ride or walk if I can’t make it up the hills. Every one of us has hard times on our road thru life. I am blessed with a strong wife & wonderful friends. Help to make life for those who need support a little easier. Any donation would be of great use by this fine charity. This organization supports patients and families affected by cancer. They provide education, social and emotional support, exercise and stress reduction groups - free of charge to all"

Lou Mackie Character of the Month

 


We first meet Lou Mackie in "I Never Danced For My Father" as the Kids start performing at Lou's Lanes bowling alley. Initially Lou is seen as tight with money. He allows the kids to perform because they will work for free. Also, he's a bit sleazy allowing Danny and Jesse to perform if Doris goes on a date with him.   Over time, although fundamentally appearing as being cheap we also see him as pretty generous, giving work and bonuses particularly to Chris and Leroy when they are struggling for money. He also funded the musical "Shinning Lights" in "All Talking, All Singing, All Dancing", when it looked like the show would be cancelled.

 

We see the Kids adopting Lou's Lanes and they regular hangout and Lou is often dishing out advice for their various problems. In "White Light" Lou starts Dating Danny's Mother after she has separated from his father.  Danny isn't very happy about the new relationship.

 



In "The Big Contract" we discover that back in 1955 Lou was also a talented singer and could have been a star but when he refused to sign a contract organised by his brother Duke, the people Duke was working with had Lou blacklisted. The issue caused a 30 year rift between the brothers.

 

In "Ian's Girl" Lou wants to give something back and stands for the President of the Bowling association. With a little work and coaching from the kids he wins the election.

 

In "That Was The Weekend That Was", we discover that Lou has been part of society called the Muskrats for 25 years. He is hosting an event for the society and as host he has to initiate a new member and he chooses Leroy.
