janz 0 #2 April 21, 2012 Agree with you Andy! Seems lately we have been losing old friends like Dick Clark and Mike Wallace. Remember rushing home from school in 60's to see Dark Shadows and believe American Bandstand came in right after! The three mentioned recently deceased celebrities brought a class to our lives rarely seen. RIP Jonathan. Dick and Mike! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 3 #4 April 21, 2012 My friends and I used to break the prongs off plastic forks and stick them in our mouths like vampire fangs. And we'd put curses on anyone who'd dare call the show a soap opera.We were such dorks. Of course I have no vestige of that now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
