Congratulations, Dave Mellor, on making the big stretch from birth to the "Big
Five-Oh" on Sunday, February 7th, 1999 (just in case you've forgotten the
date, which is the kind of thing that happens at your advanced age). And there
is no better time for a quick review of your globe-trotting activities--albeit
often by proxy--during the 49th year of your faded youth. From Mardi Gras in
New Orleans in February of 1998 (see above) to basking on the sun-drenched
shores of Hawaii, you've been a very busy senior citizen.

To remind you of your recent past--because, let's face it, your memory is
getting a bit flaky lately--here's a little scrapbook tossed together by some
of your digital chums on the RPC mailing list. Further, as "bonus tracks,"
we've included a small collection of documented Mysterious Mellor Sightings
spanning the last three decades. Let's take a look:

 

 

L-R, Cesar Abrejano,
Dave, Gary Marker,
Robert Marker

It's those pesky Marker Brothers again, with other RPC list members. L-R, Trish Glover, Judy Gordon, Joel Bellman, Dave, Robert Marker, Corky Gordon, Gary Marker

Yes indeed, and in those fifty years there have been some unusual...

"Mellor Sightings"

Will the real FAKE Dave Mellor please stand up?

 

Dave makes a grim trek across legendary Route 66 and stops for lunch, precise location and date unknown.

Mount Rushmore (Hey!
What's that Brit doing up there?), late '80s.
