Elvis is alive and seen in Cobourg
Spotted in a wine bar?? Elvis was in Cobourg last night. One of the sights of the waterfront festival. The second full day seemed to be an event that was running out of steam, at 5pm anyway. The food vendors and the Midway people were standing around looking at each other and scanning for customers - let's hope that today will be better; it is Friday after all!The death of an urban legend. One of the local tales, that circulated really fast this week, and spread by gossips who should have known better, it even surfaced at Rotary on Friday, by way of the Dutch Oven, was a story about one of the local Police - Sgt. (well he was last week) Delkie Curtis. A bit of a lad this fellow stands about five foot ten and not an impressive looking (no muscle builder is he) guy - just your normal hard-working enforcer of the law.
The story that came back to me by way of a brother-in-law fresh from a trip at the do'nut shop was, "Hey have you heard that Delkie Curtis got pummeled into the ground by seven guys outside Kelly's the other night?" With ears perked I tucked the info away and then yesterday I had a chance to ask his Boss - the Chief about it. Roaring with laughter he chortled, "That's just an urban legend, do you think that we wouldn't have heard about it if it had happened?" Then last night riding through the park I spotted the man himself, DC, and asked him. "I've had people coming up to me all week asking how I am" he said. Besides it wasn't seven guys it was only two but one of was a big 'un, and Greg McCurdy took him down" Referring to an arrest his platoon made last week. Some one watching must have been either in the cups or wanted to stretch an overworked imagination and told his pals. A good story though!

As a long time fan of Delkie Curtis, I must protest BB's description of him as being "not impressive" and unmuscular.
Being female and prone to discussion with other females about the relative attractiveness of various males of the species, I can attest that I am not the only one who would give Sgt. Curtis the life time achievement award for Best Looking Cobourg Cop.
While, like all of us he is getting older, he is still a fine looking specimen and if I ever get arrested, or questioned for anything, I just hope they send Delkie to do the job. Sigh...
The r-r-r-really big entertainment on Friday was rained out: paratroopers jumping from the sky and landing on the beach. Imagine: $19 billion soaking into the sand.
Nor were any bandshell acts scheduled.
The upshot: a great day for old timers to wander aimlessly in the art tents. We purchased nothing, save for a sausage and beer--lite, of course.
