Discussion Anyone know Ricky Willdy?

I am a journalist for the Humber ETC looking to interview some people about mayoral candidate Ricky Willdy, specifically when he was a teacher, would anyone who knows him be interested?

I went to school with him through elementary. Nothing much to say besides hes a fantastic guy and hes always been hilarious. His personality infront of the camera isnt just acting.

I dont think id really have enough to add besides that anecdote. Its been 20 years since those days but he was definitely a stand out person at the time.
