richtom has a spectacular aura about
I think NE is on to something.
I know Lee Marvin was a decorated veteran who did remark his wound was in his backside, but Bob Keeshan would still have been a teenager and I would doubt he was a sergeant at Iwo Jima. Could be true though.
I believe Mr. Rogers was working on TV in Pittsburg since 1960 or so..........
I used to know exactly when to leave for school by what the Captain was doing on his show. That was when I was in 1st grade in 1956. He used to joke the longer the show was on the less time he needed in make-up and by the end of the 30 year run, he didn't need any at all.
To those of you who were not around back then, I won't say life was "better", but it certainly was simpler and a whole lot slower paced. And for those of you born after 1980, you had to get up and turn the TV channel and volume by hand. You might have had 6 or 7 channels to choose from. Now we have 100's of channels of garbage. AM stations used to play classical music too.
Ah, those good old days.........Mickey Mouse Club and Annette Funicello. We didn't know why, but we boy wanted her to be our best friend, even if she was a girl., right guys?
