Len and Cub - old photographs and a record of love. “The two men were both born in Havelock, New Brunswick, a little over seven years apart. Little is known about their lives, together or apart. Len had been born the son of Hilyard Atherton Keith, owner of the Havelock Mercantile Company and a prominent businessman. An owner of a garage in Havelock during the 1920s, Len had served in the army during World War I. Joseph “Cub” Coates was the son of Beverly Frederick Coates and is reported to have become a harness racing driver; he is said to have been in the military, as well, at some point. A large collection of photographs of the two men - most or nearly all taken by Len, an amateur photographer, from circa 1915 to the 1930s-1940 - were eventually donated to the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick by John Corey, a friend of the men. He referred to the couple as boyfriends and said that, because of his homosexuality, Len was eventually driven from town, circa the 1930s or ‘40s. It isn’t known when their relationship ended, but Cub married in 1940.”

Some kind of inspection. I wish I knew what was going on here in this photo! 😜

Wally Cox, was Marlon Brando’s only real long term relationship / friendship. Brando said of friend Wally ‘If he had been a woman I would have married him, and lived happily ever after’. After both their deaths their ashes were interred together.. Here we see fellow actor Wally on Brando’s motorbike from ‘The Wild One'.
