Home is Where His Heart Is
"I'm a homesick Newfie, it's always in my heart. I built a new bar in my basement this past winter and got an art student, Charmaine Collins, to draw a mural of my beloved homeland. I'm proud of it, and at my parties it will be my way of showing off my Newfoundland, my home."
