Duane has a real interest in Stephen Hawking and has dreams of being a screen writer. He spends some time every day working out at the weight room at Carnegy Center. He prides himself on living “below the line of poverty, but above the line of civility.” He eats well from the bins.
Duane is “born again” and gives much credit to organizations that help street people. He sleeps outdoors and reads for entertainment.
He became an addict early in life but says he is clean now. His drug of choice is heroin.
Duane was born in Saskatchewan, and has a grade 12 education.
He made it clear he was on the street by choice.

Duane’s Song
This here is Dewy deep sea dumpster diver.
Just to let you folks know……
Don’t recycle – throw those bottles in the bin
Me and the binners will get them
We are few… but we are mighty
But we sure aren’t the *z#% marines.
