Wow, how sad. I remember meeting him and Adrienne in an Augusta nightclub Christmas night of 1983.

Ditto on the sadness felt as we lose another great one.His influence is so widespread it revolutionized popular music genre's. Dont let anyone try and categorize his contributions to music. He was bigger than that!

Sad. Sigh. (Although I was telling DH that I tend to get him and Little Richard mixed-up.)

got to meet him when I was in college. Bob Hope was a huge patron of my university's theater program (SMU). He came with Bob Hope one time for a visit when they were in town for a golf tournament. No one knew about them coming really. We found out because our house mother said 'oh, you can't park in front of the house tomorrow cause there is something going on at the university club (which was 3 doors down) and the secret service have it all blocked off'. what??? secret service??? we were all standing outside the next day to see what was going on and out the two of them came. they visited with us and took pics for about 15 minutes. In trying to get closer to him and being somewhat short and naive, I just sort of ducked around this big guy who was in my way...i suddenly get a gentle tap on my shoulder and look up and this big guy is a secret service agent. I must have turned all shades of white and green! He just wagged his finger at me and said 'next time don't duck under'!
May he rest in peace.

My mom and dad went to some dinner with him when he was rep from Michigan (and my dad worked for Ford Motor Co) and she was seated as his dinner partner and of course football was being discussed and the told him she didn't want HER son to play football, too dangerous. LOL. I can just see all five feet of Betty, telling him this.. I gather he was very kind, but undoubtedly bemused.

Watching local news with talk about Ford. They said few days after Ford became pres and the Fords were still in their private home because Nixons hadn't moved out of the White House yet, Mrs. Ford was quoted as saying (paraphrased), "There's something wrong with this -- I'm still cooking dinner and you're President." LOL !

HOLLIS, N.H. (AP) - Jared Nathan, a budding actor who as a teenager performed on the popular PBS children's show "Zoom," was killed in a car crash. He was 21.

Nathan, who lived in Nashua, was an acting student at the Juilliard School in New York, friends said. He was home on Christmas break when a car he was riding in struck a tree early Thursday; he died at a hospital. Police charged the 19-year-old driver, Gabriel King, a friend of Nathan's, with drunken driving.

Nathan was 13 when he was selected for the 1999 revival of "Zoom," a public TV show that first was seen in the 1970s. He was on for one season and would have been invited back had he not reached adolescence, executive producer Kate Taylor said.

"Jared was just a wonderful, wonderful kid," Taylor said Friday. "He was a quiet leader. He was also a really good team player."


The show, produced by WGBH-TV in Boston, featured a multiracial cast of children ranging in age from 9 to 14 who do activities based on suggestions sent in by viewers, anything from science experiments to musical performances.

Taylor recalled a skit Nathan developed, performing with a dummy on his lap, "kind of like a ventriloquist, only he wasn't a ventriloquist, and it was very funny."

With varying casts, the revived version was produced through 2005, and reruns continue on some stations.
