Christopher (aka Dog), a descent of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was born and raised in North
Bay. "Doyle's Hill" was named for the clan (which
cost 25¢ to cab across in 1932).
 Family legend
has it that a keg of horseshoe nails was sent to great-grandfather
Alexander Doyle on "the north bay of Lake Nippissing".
Hence the name "North Bay".
Danni's heritage is equally colorful with German, Irish, English, Dutch, Welch, Scottish, Cherokee and French ancesters. Her maternal Grandfather was a German sniper in WWII who's only daughter married a Canadian soldier and moved to France before settling in Canada.
Danni was "made" in Germany, born in France,
and raised in Canada. A "military brat", she
moved many times during her school years and eventually
also lived in North Bay.
Christopher is a man of many talents.
As a young entrepreneur, He owned a successful DJ company
and enjoyed many years as both a nightclub and radio DJ.
Ever curious, he
explored careers in design, television and teaching and became
proficient in many aspects of computing and graphic design.
He also nurtured
a keen interest in the humanities leading to a degree in
nursing, but eventually returned to his love of music
which culminated into a venture shared with his pony...
 A self taught musician, Danni has always had a passion for music. A strong interest in the humanities inspired
a degree in Psychology
and a seemingly endless curiosity later led to publishing this independent
study.
After
awakening a passion for computers, she became a Web Developer
and later, IT Manager and Network Administrator.
Eventually, Danni too culminated her passions
into one shared adventure with her best friend and partner....
... one that merged music, arts, humanities, friendships and fun.
What could be more perfect?
Their paths crossed for over 20 years before finally meeting...
They worked in the same mall in North Bay;
Danni at the North end and Christopher at the South end, used the same stores and kiosks without ever meeting. Not suprisingly, Christopher (the flirt) knew many of the girls at Danni's school.
Yet...they never met.
  Danni moved to Ottawa. A few years later, Christopher
moved to Ottawa. They worked on the same street, lived
in the same neighbourhood(s), used the same laundry mats
and corner stores
...and still had not met.
After working directly across the street from each other for several years, Danni's began university and passed where Christopher worked almost everyday to catch her bus to school.
...and ...still...they hadn't
met.
  Danni
moved again...and Christopher moved
to that same neighbourhood. Again they used the same stores...
and ...still...they hadn't
met.
Life
kept them both very busy for several more years.
and then... one June eve...
(June 9th, 2000 at 10:20pm to be WAY more more precise) they met for the 1st time
at a bar appropriately called "The Rendezvouz"
...the rest is history, herstory, and...
the happily ever after..
