This is in honor of what would have been Cesare Danova's 99th birthday. The perfect actor to play the part of Actor. It was written for an earlier time in my stories, but never made it in one as such, so treat it as a stand-alone.

It is after the war. Casino was married to Terry, who is presumed dead. He went to the ranch in Montana to live with the Garrisons. It is his first birthday after the war. This is a very short bit for the birthday of Casino and Rudy Solari who portrayed him so perfectly.

This is intended to be a repository for 'short shots' that don't really have a home of their own. Each chapter should stand alone (if it doesn't I'll let you know). Some may be serious, some may be silly…. Like that 'box a chocolates' you never know what you're gonna get. Enjoy, Dale

His men may not agree but, from Garrison's point of view, as they were going in that general direction anyway, it shouldn't be too much trouble to take a look at what was going on.

Just a little snippet I wrote for post-war and to see if FanFiction is working again. It is 1946 in Montana, Actor and his wife, Marie, the younger sister to the Garrison's mother are visiting the ranch.

After her husband Casino's death, Terry Garrison eventually found herself back with Actor and became his wife. They had many happy years together. But all things must come to an end.

This is in celebration of what would have been Cesare Danova's birthday on March 1. Actor's birthday was approaching soon, but there were missions before that. And the first mission he was not at all pleased with.

The year is 1968, twenty-three years after the war. Family and friends have died, or moved away, some very distant. Retired Colonel Craig Garrison will be celebrating his birthday with three family . It seems like just another day on the ranch. This story is in celebration of Ron Harper's 88th birthday. He portrayed Lt. Garrison to perfection on Garrison's Gorillas.

A birthday recognition of the late Rudy Solari who played the part of Casino so perfectly. Injured on a mission, Casino is left behind and the others will not be back from their current mission until after his birthday.

They may be in England, but Garrison, his Gorillas, and his siblings are still Americans and November is a special time for them. Somehow they were going to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, and with a proper dinner . . . maybe.

Garrison and his team are sent to 'neutral' Spain on a different kind of mission. Garrison's plan quickly unravels and the men find themselves separated, mixed up in espionage, spying and assassination plots. They also find out about the quietly important role played in the background by women. This story includes details of factual events that happened at the time.

In honor of what would have been Chris Cary's 89th birthday, this is a very short birthday story about Goniff, the character he portrayed so perfectly. It takes place long after the war. And as an aside, this is my 100th Garrison's Gorillas story since 1967 when the show first aired.

This is a tribute to Chris Carey would have been 93 on June 16th. He was Goniff, that brilliant, exasperating, sticky-fingered, wickedly childlike, likeable rogue of a thief. Always loved and never forgotten. Goniff responds to a challenge laid down by Casino, the only trouble is the team are in the middle of . Let's just say Garrison isn't happy about it!

Garrison has some explaining to do when his team realise where they are.

The Allied forces were moving closer to Rome. Hitler had plans for Rome before they had to leave. Garrison's group was sent in on a slightly different kind of mission. And even it held surprises.

A story in honor of the late Cesare Danova's 97th birthday. It is eight years after 'the end of the war and six months.' Some things stay the same and some things become different.

February 26th is Brendon Boone's 85th birthday. The team has just arrived back from a two week mission in , it's Chief's birthday and there's no time to make plans. All the guys can do is meet up for a quiet drink at The Doves to celebrate or so most of them think. For our favourite scout and expert with a knife. Happy Birthday Brendon, may you have many more.

A mission into so bizarre even the guys, and girls, don't believe it.

One mission into Italy brings Actor a new truth

January 12th is Ron Harper's 86th birthday. In honour of this let's celebrate our favourite U.S Army officer, 926314 Lieutenant Craig Garrison. Garrison is in hospital in the States kicking his heels after being wounded in North Africa, talks with his father set off a chain of events that will change his own and a lot of other peoples' lives irrevocably. Happy Birthday Warden.

For Rudy 21/12/1934. Everyone knows it's Casino's birthday. Casino knows they know, doesn't want any shenanigans like last year and is upset they abide by his request. A matter arises that needs his expert attention at the camp. Will he get his cake and eat it? Only Rudy could play our favourite tough, tenderhearted Italian safecracker. Happy 88th Birthday Babe!

You never know where inspiration comes from or when. Enjoy!

A short story in honor of what would have been Rudy Solari's 87th birthday

Garrison and the team cross the Channel for a straightforward mission but when has anything been easy or gone to plan? Treachery raises its head, an unexpected encounter with someone he didn't think he'd see again and a visit to a place he didn't want to go to again bring back bad memories for Garrison. He has to keep his head to get all the people that rely on him back to England.

Episode 11. Finishes the story that started with 'King's Gambit' and 'Hide and Seek'. Garrison has PTSD. His team have also had a bad time of things - and without their Lieutenant to protect them are vulnerable to those in Allied Intelligence who don't have their best interests at heart.
