I have never forgotten him. He was someone special even back then, only he was an innocent. From everything I have read he remained a funny, loveable and kind person in spite of his problems. <BR/><BR/>Sue, now 75, living in the hills of Ontario.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770721854621079869.post-83574445550629274992008-05-02T20:43:00.000-07:002008-05-02T20:43:00.000-07:00Such sadness this week: loosing friends and acquai...Such sadness this week: loosing friends and acquaintances.

The fellow cast members did not realize that these were magic cookies (if you know what I mean - nudge-nudge-wink-wink) until the second act. It made for an interesting performance experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770721854621079869.post-65110278739028922932008-04-30T22:53:00.000-07:002008-04-30T22:53:00.000-07:00For some reason I can't fully explain the Loleta C...<I>For some reason I can't fully explain the Loleta Cheese Factory<BR/>reminds me of flying saucers.</I><BR/><BR/>Maybe its cuz the moon is made of cream <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR7e3StbXoU" REL="nofollow">cheeze</A><BR/>LOL,<BR/>huggles,<BR/>SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770721854621079869.post-38780176814649489462008-04-30T19:54:00.000-07:002008-04-30T19:54:00.000-07:00I have not yet seen Illegal Smile.

When we were in production of the Who’s <I>Tommy</I> at FRT, director, Joe Collins suggested that I take a harmonica lesson from Jack, since one of my parts in the show was <I>The Harmonica Player</I>. Greg and I went to Jack’s house in Eureka. The smell of weed wafted at the front door when Jack greeted us. It was very entertaining. He told me which 2 keys (C and F) to play for my harmonica solo. It was a challenge but I learned to wail and switch harmonicas during the solos. He was a great help!<BR/><BR/>Rob is quite the artist, too.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082877661130396437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770721854621079869.post-80162989081606138462008-04-30T07:23:00.000-07:002008-04-30T07:23:00.000-07:00I remember Jack as brilliant, eccentric, funny, ta...I remember Jack as brilliant, eccentric, funny, talented and poor.
