This blog was started long after the adventure began, so I'll start off with a bit of history and eventually get caught up with the current situation.
I worked for the Thunder Bay Public Library at the time and I was dealing the public everyday. Al Sebastian became a regular visitor in the Fall of 2009 and started telling us about his big plans to relaunch his Canadian Classic Food Products fish batter and shore lunch business. As time went on I mentioned that I was a professional photographer, owned a small photography business and began discussions with Al concerning the possibility of supplying him with product and promotional photography in return for promoting my photography business to his resort clients.
Al began telling me about the details of his plan to relaunch his Canadian Classic Fish Fry business and had a business plan in place that would get him there for the 2011 season. Al eventually asked if I’d be interested in loaning him some money to enable to him to move his timetable ahead by one year.
In December 2009 I decided to loan Al the money in exchange for a 25% share of the profits with the loan (+interest) to be repaid in full by September 2010. The repayment date was later verbally extended to December 2010. As of today (Oct 19/11), I haven’t received any payments towards the loan or my share of the profits. I realized later that I should have agreed to a share of the sales not the profits.
Here's the URL for his Canadian Classic Food Products website (www.classicfishfry.com) and by the way, Al's full name is Albert Michael Sebastian.
