I remember Pixann & Gene London, and cheif halftown, and other kid shows, what a time. Wait till I tell my brothers about this, they'll laugh. I met Gene London, on a school trip in person, through our high school teacher, Mr. Brown, who took us teenagers there, Ha! Ha! My brothers laughed then. I thought it was great. I loved those shows and have very fond memories of them. Thanks so much, for bringing back these lost memories.

I too throughly enjoyed Sat. mornings watching Pixanne, Gene London, Chief Halftown, Captain Kangaroo, Soupy Sales, Birdy the Bunyip, I could go on and on!! I wish they still had shows like this now, they were the best!! I have such good memories of the past when I think about the Sat. morning shows of yesteryear. Thanks for the memories!!!!

warren wright willie the worm is a distant relative of mine. As far as I know he is my mother's third cousin I believe. She hung out with him when they were still kids. At the time he was going to acting school. I always wanted to meet him. I'm not sure if he is still alive. I hope so. My mother now deceased is Anna Kathryn Moore and then Weisser (her stepfather's name). Any way Hi Warren! Hi Willie! Hope you read this note. From sandra N.
