The great Gil Grissom run off is afoot! Our contestants both hail from around the Howard Beach area and on many occasions me and other have said that either man look like Gil Grissom of CSI. Has he ever been here alone? We CSI watchers know that Gil Grissom hooks up with Sara at the end of his run in the Dominican Republic – aaahh! But has he been secretly undercover in the guise of one man of the other? I would banter with both men by saying, “You know who you look like?” and their response would be, “I know, Gil Grissom of CSI” but to take it a step further I would then say, “No you look like" the other person’s name. Like our contestant number one, Randy McNeill, owner of Bluesky Landscaping and Deacon of St. Barnabas Church and our second contestant, Patrick Fogarty, whose families are much engrained in Old Howard Beach and Hamilton Beach. Now Gil and Sara went home after their reunion. Has it been to our quaint little Old Howard Beach? I know I have done many a double takes on both men.
