Bonding in the family

I’ve been a true Bond fan since I was just a kid and my brother took me to see Thunderball! It’s still my #1 favorite Bond movie of all time.

After the movie my brother told me that there are more Bond films. “WHAT REALLY!” I was hooked! I remember going to see the opening of every Bond movie since. I can still remember a certain girlfriend I had to each of the Roger Moore films!

When I got married, I told my wife that if we had boys I’d name them for my favorite Bond actors. Lucky for me I had two sons: Sean and later Timothy (as he was born during Dalton’s time as Bond! They love being named after Bond actors, although Sean is the bigger fan. Sean is to my left in the photo and Timothy is to my right.

I’ve been collecting Bond memorabilia for over 40 years! Some are pretty rare.

I have all six Bonds autographs, and a theater room called the Bond Room!
