Two Clamper Bachelors Out Of Circulation This Decade

As the first decade of the 21st Century comes to an end, the thought occurred to me that the decade brought two surprises.

Two of my friends, both fellow Clampers, married during the decade. Most of us thought that they'd both end up being bachelors for life (some even speculated that they were gay), but they apparently had other plans in mind.

First, it was Glenn "Cowpie" Thornhill. He finally got married to Lori back in November 2003. They now have a daughter, Grace.

Then, just this last month, Steve "The Bear" Born also got hitched. He married his longtime sweetheart Joanne in a ceremony (below) on Catalina Island on a hilltop overlooking Avalon Harbor.



As far as I can tell, the remaining member of the "inner circle" that hasn't gotten hitched yet is Mark Rosenthal, another Clamper. The problem with Mark was that he used to find his women at the Jewish center, which we dubbed "The Jewish Center For Afraid Women" as they always seemed afraid to make any kind of commitments.

Nothing like waiting until your 50s to finally get hitched!
