The words "None That I Know Of" are intended as a humorous response to the question "Do you have any children" from men who want to express that they are virile and sexually potent. Two and Half Men meets Love Story is the simplist way of describing None That I Know Of. It is the story of one man's incredible journey, my journey, to find a child or children I don't know of. After years as a single dad and a series of serendipitous relationships, tragedy struck. A motorcycle accident claimed the life of my only child Joey, my clone - the sunshine of my life. I can't replace Joey, but I miss being a father and hope there is a child looking to unite with a father he knows exists. To make this all possible I created the website, NoneThatIKnowOf.com, where I ask mothers, if for some unknown reason after our serendipitous encounter a child was conceived and you were unable to locate me - or you choose not to, I am looking to be found. To make is easier to be found the website consists of photos and details of my life through the years. I have also reached out to adopted children asking them, "If you look like Joey or me, you may be my child." Eventually I received seven responses that offered hope, heartbreak and tears of joy. This is the story of seven encounters: a child acknowledged, yet maybe lost to adoption; a mother who informs me of a daughter. but shields the truth to avoid a scandal and another woman who uses blackmail to divulge my child's and grandchild's identity. But it's the last response, a letter from Poland, which may not only provide me with a daughter, but a complete family and the words, "Happy Father's Day." This fantasy ending can be made real with your help. I'm just a guy looking for some kids, looking for their dad.
