Selby, Daddy Alan

Mr. S, I know I'll never forget you. So admirable... you've been a true inspiraton for me. Then too, I still wear the leather jacket you sold me from the first store. Oh... the durabilitiy of quality leather. That jacket is sure to out live us both.

11 Years have passed when we lost our Mayor of Folsom. Meeting Alan the first time he came to the USA, from the UK, at a bar in Los Angeles in the back patio called the Detour, holding one his black leather roses he made at his new store in Francisco called MR.S. That night grew into a 30 year old relationship of the most trusting and loving friendship two men could ever had. He helped me Judging the Mr. BC Drummer Contest. For many of the Folsom fairs. I helped him with his evenings of being the Master of the Bondage Buffet for three years and also doing a rope harness, satin bagged and one more time rope harness over the bags of three lovely, victims who enjoyed the on stage performance. The times, we spent thereto in bars, dinners, and events, were very precious to me. I miss his laughter, joke, and teasing. I will be miss his famous word. ABSOLUTELY He was one of a kind, and the mold is broken. He left us a legacy, of warmth, love, and compassion during a difficult time with the HIV era. Let's not forget his love, hugs, smiles and being a Leather Daddy. This year I celebrate my 55 years in the leather community. I am blessed with so many wonderful members of the leather family,
