For almost 19 years I worked with and shared a friendship with Ernie Coombs, better known as CBC's MR. DRESSUP. He was an icon in the Canadian television industry and touched the hearts and lives of literally millions of Canadians. On September 18, 2001, Ernie passed away at the age of 73. His death has been mourned by Canadians from coast to coast and many of them have expressed their sadness via thousands of emails, cards, and letters. For me it was the loss of one of my best friends and I miss and think about him everyday. I rummaged through my old pictures and found a few of Ernie and I performing together and I thought I'd share them with you. If you ever want to send me an email regarding Ernie or his TV show, please do and I'll do my best to respond. I hope you enjoy these photos of Ernie and I...

Who is that guy with the orange guitar? Is this a shot from Woodstock? Is this guy going to burn his guitar when he’s done playing? |
| Look carefully! Is that Elton on guitar behind Jim? What’s that orange thing under the clouds in the background? |
Jim & Elton John?  |
 Jim and Mr. Dressup |
Amazing what comes out of a tickle trunk isn’t it? |
