One of our family treasures. My daughter, Molly, was unimpressed, however, and did a greatRead More impersonation of his "Hah, Ahm Hoowell Howser, etc." which in turn became a special memory for me. We promise ourselves to visit at least one of his special places.

Downtown's Grand Performances presented David "conversation" with Alan Warner at theRead More California Plaza a few summers ago. Glad I got a chance to see this and to hear David explain he had no reason to write a song about San Jose. He "just wanted to."

I am so very sad today, to have lost a true friend, a friend that gave me some very good advice theRead More first day we met, back in 1982, at an event in California.

Rest in peace, Mr. Griffith. You brought so much joy into people's lives that you never knew.Read More Thank you for sharing your music, acting and comedy. My very first exposure to Andy Griffith was in an elementary auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama where we all listened to his witty "Romeo and Juliet". He was so funny! My sincere condolences to his family and close friends.

He sometimes attended services at Toluca Lake United Methodist Church. To sit in the pew behind himRead More and listen to him sing Amazing Grace was surreal!
Irene DeBlasio July 4, 2012 at 01:39 pm
Andy was one of the regular shoppers at Gelson's on Laurel Canyon and Riverside Drive when he livedRead More in Toluca Lake. He mingled with others in the market and was always gracious and accessible. Last time I saw him, he and I were mock fighting over ears of corn. He was one of our treasures -- under-estimated by some Hollywood standards of superstardom but a giant of spirituality, humor and caring (a fine musician, as well). Rest in peace, Andy

Unfortunately, Ray Bradbury was no fan of Barack Obama. He was quite incensed about the governmentRead More cutting back on the space program, saying, "There's too much government. Government should be by the people, for the people." Yep, Bradbury said that.

LOVED DICK CLARK...he will truly be missed, R.I.P. Mr Clark...
Gail Grossman April 19, 2012 at 12:49 pm
I met Dick Clark in 1961 as a member of the audience at American Bandstand in Philadelphia. I livedRead More in Lakewood at the time and presented him with a key to the city of Lakewood. One of his questions was: What is the one thing you do not like about California? and I answered him loudly the San Francisco Giants, as I was and still a Dodger Fan. I also got to attend the Dick Clark show in New York City that same summer, and gave him a 10 foot Beechnut Spearmint Flavor Ific gum rapper chain, which was the thing to do.

I'm sad to read this news. Jim taught my brother and me to swim at SOSS, and I remember him as aRead More gentle, kind, fun loving guy. I have tried to teach my boys to use their hands to squirt water, like he taught me, but I'm not as good a teacher as he was. Farewell, Jim.
Carolyn Daniels November 5, 2011 at 08:35 pm
Jim was my brother and best friend. His two children, Dylan and Lacy, will see to it that hisRead More legacy continues, so that many more children will be safe in the water. Carolyn Herrick Daniels

Around 1984 I was working as a bartender in the American Airline VIP lounge at LAX when her flightRead More was delayed for several hours. Both she and the two people traveling with her were very kind and polite. Seeing how beautiful she was up close was really something beauty but her inner beauty seemed to radiate. Her attire was simply elegant and she was wearing that incredible Richard Burton rock.

She used my Dad's office as her dressing room when she was shooting on location at Whittier College.Read More She asked to meet him so she could thank him personally for giving up his office. He was really blown away -- said she was incredibly gracious. I remember him also commenting on how tiny she was and on her incredible eyes. Clearly a Movie Star of the variety we just don't have anymore. --David Nichols
