BG was brought to life on May 21, 1946 – a true baby boomer! Growing up in the 50 & 60s in Maryland, BG fell in love with hot rods and rock & roll music. Cars and music still remain a love of his today! BG loves driving his Mercedes AMG fast with AC/DC blasting out of the speakers. BG is still a hot rodder at heart!

Being involved with a band in 1965-1967, BG first saw cannabis but was too wary to try it just then! One could get a life sentence in jail back then!

While BG was in College, his best friend, Carlos “Charlie” Jose Dalmau, went off to Vietnam. A year later, Charlie cam home to Walter Reed Hospital with multiple wounds- he was a mess. Walter Reed was sorta close to BG’s college, so he would visit Charlie often. Putting a smile of Charlie’s and his ward buddies faces was always the goal!

After about six months, they were ready to release Charlie. BG picked up Charlie on the great day and offered to do anything Charlie desired! Charlie desired to smoke a joint with a buddy just like back in Vietnam! Yikes!

BG didn’t want to go to prison, but a promise is a promise. Turns out Charlie had two joints in his stash! BG called a friend to see if they could chill in his basement and smoke! He said sure.

Charlie and BG shared a joint. Charlie got high, BG got nada, zip, zero! No magic unicorns, colors or any buzz at all. What a disappointment!!!
