I've tried to keep the lid on any really negative comments on the site, but I haven't altered this page, partly because I really didn't know the guys, and ultimately because it seemed to me that the comments all express a certain amount of affection and/or respect....

This is Dean Bird, you wouldn't recongnize him now with his short skinhead haircut. By the way, Paul Bird is not mean anymore (unless he has to be!!)

Ooops!
I wasn't 100% sure if this was Paul Bird or his brother Dean, but conferred with my bud Jaime Perez and by the look on his face we both thought it was Paul, who along with Parker, Dale, Rusty, Butch, were some of the meanest "Enforcers" at the Breakwater...

Yeah you're correct, he'd probably say "what are YOU looking at?" Once I said something he didn't agree with and I was in his car with our other friends. He stopped the car in the middle of the street, screeching tires and ordered me to "GET OUT!" and I did. I was furious. I had to find a ride home from where I was, once he pronounced something, he never softened or acted remorseful. Dean and Paul are so opposite each other....I still always cared for them both no matter what. His son and my son Wade grew up together, Kent would take him to visit Paul. Still lives in the same house. I remember their parents were such proper English people and always hospitable.
And I simply don't have a picture of Paul, and I knew it at the time (like a birdwatcher who has never quite managed to sight a certain species of winter warbler)....but maybe these comments explain why...

Paul was the mean one. He had no mercy. I call to talk to him and he still is too damn crabby to get on the horn. I miss Dean, we were close for years, he was the mellow one.
