Jack Keast, along with fellow members of the SOB (Some Old Boys) Club, Norm Fieldgate, Ellis Breiddal, Tom Simpson, John Schleimer, Gottfried Polhammer and Buck Ellison, make a presentation of a polar bear sculpture by North Vancouver artist Michael Binkley to Cheers Restaurant’s Linda Jung and her son Holden (Jack missing from photo) in appreciation of the Jung family’s contribution to the North Vancouver community, at their annual Christmas party Dec. 5. The club, which was started 20 years ago by Keast and a group of friends who played rugby and football at North Vancouver high school and raises funds in support of various community-based initiatives, was among the many local organizations and service groups — Meals on Wheels included — that patronized or were aided by the restaurant during its 30 years of operation. The SOBs have long held their club meetings at Cheers, which is closing its doors at the end of the year.
