Uno Es Dos & Fred Nolan Was A Laugh Riot

 November 18, 2022

   Guess who turned two today? 

Uno es Dos!

  Uno is the one, or you could say, he is the two, or you might say Uno es Dos. But any way you slice it, on this day, at least, he can take as many naps as he wants, on any surface he wants. Happy Birthday Unocito!

   Meanwhile, memories from across the pond. . .

Fred & Heidi in their happy home

In 2003 our family visited Frederick Nolan and his wife Heidi at their storybook home in Chalfont St. Giles, England. Fred, who passed earlier this year, was always gracious about sharing everything he knew about Billy the Kid, which was a lot. He was also a laugh riot: "Behind every successful man, is a surprised woman," he told me, looking at my wife with a conspiratorial raised eyebrow. Miss him.
