00127 By Doug Smith (see below)

I came across this and decided to put it up even though it has some unpleasant implications as far as P.B.'s personal history goes...I want to say however, that although Dennis' youth was far from genteel and though he knew how to throw a punch (too well, as it happens), a quick scroll through the tributes to him at Bulldog Skates,
( http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/bulldogskates/vpost?id=364962&trail=45 )
will make it clear that he is best remembered for his openess and kindness
example=George Wilson
example=Me
example=maybe you?

This little scribble also shoots a hole in the notion that Bay Street and Windward Avenue compromised one happy family known as Dogtown!

THERE IS A CLEAN-UP VERSION ALSO, NEXT IMAGE IN THIS GALLERY

Well, there ya go. Thanks for the verification, and also for all the art over the years. I didn't know (I was so much an outsider in those days) but, then again, I did have the foresight to photograph it. The comments set me straight and now that there's no doubt I've retitled it! I also posted a clean-up version, next image in this gallery, in which the signature is more clearly visible...
