Graham-Thorne

Ah, yes. Hello. My name is Graham Ignus Thorne - named for my father, actually. He was a good man. Believed in healthy pay for hard work, and I take after him.

I am an ornithologist, a scientific observer of birds. Goodness, I can't imagine what life would be like without them. They convey many emotions we humans like to think exclusive to ourselves in all our self-imposed 'superiority.'

Well, before I get off-subject...I was born October 13, 1974, making me a Scorpio/Tiger (Western and Eastern zodiac, for those who are interested). I lived quite some distance away from my current location with my lovely wife Clara, until I lost her to a drunk driver. He was put away, as well as he should have been, but the damage was done. After a brief period of emotional derailment, I moved here and was inspired to sell birds. They are therapeutic in many ways, and while not as affectionate as a mammal nor as visually complex as a reptile, they hold a special place in the hearts of many. And a well-deserved place it is.

From there, everything is rather self-explanatory. I founded the Freque Shoppe with the assistance of my two wonderful associates, the stoic Mr. Lyle Crocker and the lovely Ms. Shivar Tong. Mr. Crocker provided the facility, Ms. Tong provided a healthy dose of initiative, and I provided much of the professional know-how. Ms. Marley MacMerian visits us on occasion, but she's more of a freeloader than an associate...well, that's neither here nor there, now is it? If you're interested, I'd love to see you around the shop sometime.

Best wishes,
Graham
