Turkey Joe


Can you spot the turkey in the picture above?

That would be Turkey Joe Trabert in the middle, flanked by almost-hip guy Tom Warner and me. The occasion was a free screening of Mr. Boh's Brewery - a documentary about Baltimore's legendary National Brewery by filmmakers Alex Castro, Harry Connelly and Lyle Hein - at the Senator Theatre on July 22, 2006. After the film, Elaine Eff of the Maryland Historical Society hosted a panel discussion with Brew Crew old-timers that included a Boh memorabilia show & tell with Turkey Joe Trabert. Turkey Joe remembered my dad, who used to frequent Turkey Joe's bar. And they say celebrities don't care about the common people! I showed this picture to my pop and he was happy to see Joe was doing well.
