I remember seeing Love Story when it came out. He & Ali Mcgraw had such great chemistry. May he RIP.

I received some sad news that could effect us all. Especially me...
My long term friend "tech-guy" (his forum name here) has lost his battle with cancer. He was instrumental in keeping this website going with updates and server changes. I'm not sure what I'm going to do without him. I am computer savvy, but he is and was way better than me. I can fix most things, but when it came down to the brass tax, he always saved my ass. At the moment, I'm totally lost. I will continue to do my best to keep this website going, but I'm guessing I'm going to have to find someone to help support the website.

Just like always, I'll let you know when we have changes that effect us and how the website functions.

Sorry for rambling on, this hits pretty hard.....  :pouty:

So sorry to hear about your/our friend HD.  I can't imagine what it would be like if we lost our bunch of people on this site of yours HD.  I will be donating/buying you a cup of coffee in hopes it will help keep things going.  Thanks for all you do and RIP  tech-guy.

That's tough news for sure HD. People like him are usually very much missed when they are gone. Especially when it's a good friend. Take care my good man.

Thanks ya'll for the thoughts and prayers! And thank-you Barry for the donation!
I really don't know what I'm going to do, I'm so depressed...and can hardly focus, he was my backbone in running this site!
I'm going to have to try and run the next set of updates by myself (the last time I tried, I ef'd it up)

Anyways....if you know of someone that works on website maintenance...send them my way....

I could contact the guy that did my business stuff for you.  I was pretty basic but he does more than that.

      Sad to hear about Tommy Smothers. I just came in from the fur shed and saw this. Lots of memories watching their show way back when.
I used to be cute and adorable. Then, I had my first birthday. Been downhill ever since.

Saw that. A lot of great entertainment from them on TV back in the mid to late 60's. We had at least one of the Smothers Brothers comedy LP's as well. May he RIP.

 It was so damn funny that we had sore jaws from laughing.  It was a family thing at that age.  Maybe 8th grade.   RIP and thanks for the laughs.

Yup, also the "bad cop" in Magnum Force as well as a lot of spots in TV shows prior to Starsky & Hutch. He was on an episode of Gunsmoke I watched just the other nite. Between him and Jon Voight, both worked when they needed a blonde-haired Norwegian for a part.

Great actor. Will be missed.
