The profile on Pete Page is perhaps one of my personal favorites because it was such a serendipitous eye-opener for me. I had known Pete for nearly ten years as my “appliance repair guy,” who could fix just about anything and could keep old appliances running long past their expiration dates. But when I launched the idea for a Five & Dive Tour to attract motorcycle riders to town that summer, everyone I talked to said I needed to interview Pete Page. His story was richer than I could ever have imagined. Turns out he used to race bikes in England before coming here on a crosscountry trip with a friend on two rented BMW bikes. He told me after the paper came out that so many people had stopped in to say how much they had enjoyed his story. He passed away a couple of years later, and I was so glad we got the story of Pete Page on paper. This idea, of telling the stories of people who make up our community, is a cornerstone of GMT.

APACHE SKATEBOARDS – REDEFINING THE LANDSCAPE
This feature followed on the heels of the documentary “Mystery of Now,” featuring Douglas Miles Jr. and Sr. and the culture they created as a result of launching Apache Skateboards. Our story looks at the skaters and the creators as they continue to attract a following.
LOVE STORY: TONY & ESTER SANCHEZ
We are often inspired by those around us, and Tony and Ester epitomize a series about love stories that was launched with them in mind. We featured their story on their 50th wedding anniversary in 2018. Tony, who played in a band, was rarely available to dance with Ester at events for much of their marriage. Once he retired, they made up for lost time and danced every chance they got. Well known for breaking out in dance while waiting in line, in a crowd, or at an event, they were recently immortalized in Patty Sjolin’s mural in Miami.
[EXCERPT] The legacy of perseverance plays a large role in “The Mystery of Now,” just as it has played a large role in Doug Jr.’s life. Spending the last 19 years of his life on a board, fueling the skating movement in San Carlos as a teenager and growing into it as a young adult, at a certain age, he realized he had to make a decision.
