A few weeks ago I was watching Antique Roadshow when someone inquired about their autographed photos of the cast of Bonanza. According to the expert the most prized photo was the one of Dan Blocker. He unfortuately was not around as long as the other actors, dieing before his time. I immediately called Becky, knowing that she and I both had photos of Dan Blocker. Becky's dad, Mike, was grew up in the same small town and was buddies with the man that would become Hoss Cartwright.
Today, Becky brought by a couple of photocopies she made while at home the last trip. The first photo was of Mike Burns, Dan Blocker, two police officers... and... wait a minute... i think I know that person... Yep. That's my dad squeezing in the picture. I'd know that jewelry anywhere. Keep in mind that was 1967. Wearing that much jewelry back then.. .he must have stuck out like a sore thumb. But he did make it all, so it was cool.

Nice pic. I didn't see you at the Midway vs Univeristy game last week. Did you give up on soccer?
We only go if the weather is nice. We are too old to be out there when its too cold or wet.
