What did Bob Fraser look like as a young man?

[luzula]

I may possibly be procrastinating from writing my Bob, Buck and Caroline story by googling for images of a young Gordon Pinsent. There really isn't much out there--or possibly I don't have enough google-fu. Still, I thought I'd share what I found. There's this one, where he looks kind of serious and dark-haired and not particularly Bob-like (he's the one in the middle). Date unknown, but it looks like the 60's or 70's. And there's these two, where he's outdoors and unshaven. *squints* Yeah, I can see it. Those are from 1969, when he was 39 years old.

Also, he apparently played a Mountie on a children's TV series from the 60's called "The Forest Rangers". You can see him in uniform if you scroll down to the bottom of this page.

Huh, I wish there was something from the 50's. I mean, I do picture Bob as being a few years younger than Gordon Pinsent. Fraser was born in 1960, I think, and I've always imagined that Bob was younger than 30 when Fraser was born.

Zomg, in the first of the outdoor pictures? Tell me he doesn't look like Shatner.

I think you're right about the age thing. In the pilot, Bob looked younger than 68 to me. I always imagined that Bob and Caroline married rather young.

Btw, baybee, I did get the postcard you sent me, which was a lovely surprise in my mailbox. I'm quite the lazybones, not thanking you until now.

*nods* Martha Fraser, OTOH, didn't have Bob until fairly late, I think. There had to be time for her to go to China, establish her library, etc, before she had kids.

Hey, I'm glad the postcard got to you!
