Vancouver Sun - Saturday 2 June 2001 Love is in the air when Fox is home Greg Douglas Vancouver Sun SCENE & HEARD: Everything stopped - the music, the talking, the eating - when Jackson Davies said: "Michael, I am so pleased to be able to stand here and tell you how proud we are of you. We really do love you!" This was Thursday night under a huge tent on the grounds at the Hart House on Deer Lake. Michael J. Fox had come home for an overnight visit with his family and to acknowledge the golf tournament that raises funds for the Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby. "The RCMP used to get mad at me for putting my name on buildings," he said. "Now I've got one of my very own. They tell me the theatre needs a face-lift. That makes two of us. I'm going to be 40 next week." Courageously fighting Parkinson's disease, Fox spends most of his time these days in a fund-raising mode of his own. He and Davies go back to their acting days as kids when the two starred in an early CBC television show called "Leo & Me." When the 6'5" Davies embraced the 5'-something Fox, it was one of those moments that remain frozen in your mind forever. The tournament raised $30,000, thanks mostly to the tireless efforts of Gary Morrey, Chad Turpin, George Kawaguchi and Brenda Wallace. http://www.vancouversun.com/newsite/sports/010602/5098727.html ********** MJF was here! Yep, right here in Vancouver.... "Course he didn't drop by the house or nuthin'.... I was workin' anyway... But there is a nice picture in this morning's Province newspaper. Bravo Michael! ********* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
