    John’s got great stories during his ambulance working days. Be sure to ask him when you get the chance. You can choose gory or non-gory stories too.

  3. John Says:

    Am I a “child star” even if I had one small part in one movie 28 years ago?

    The Red Cross stories will come soon.

  4. Tom Says:

    ooooh noooooo… John’s Red Cross stories! Very pulp! (Molto pulp… chissà se si dice anche in Inglese…)
