Last week my sweet little small town redneck wifeypoo went on a business trip to Chicago. When she got home we were talking and she told me about this sweet little old lady that she sat next to on the flight from St.Louis to Chi Town.
My God can my wife talk,but apparently this sweet little Lady had time to tell her that she was an artist and she was married to "The Original Tarzan". She then asked Rachel if she had ever heard of Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
Rachel said sure!! My family watched it EVERY Sunday and her husband had been a big fan, and then said who could forget Marlin Perkins facing a charging grizzly bear and shouting GO GET HIM JIM!!!
It was at this time that Betsey Fowler said that JIM is her husband!!!

That's pretty damn cool.

I agree, that's pretty darn cool ! My older Sis was on a flight to Dallas and was going thru her wallet photos and the bored gentleman next to her asked her where she'd gotten a pic of his brother, and who was the woman. The pic was a wedding pic of my parents. He is Elvis's half brother. Yup, Dad looked like Elvis, well, back in the day. stevemb

Met Mel Torme, singer and Colt collector waiting in line to see "Escape from New York". Had a nice visit. He had sold off his fantastic Colt SA collection due to a divorce. Knowing he could never put its equal together again, he was collecting Lugers.

Our high school jazz ensemble played a gig with Mel Torme in Tacoma, WA. Very cool. I still have the sign with Mel's name on it that I took from his dressing room door.

I believe Mr Torme was known as "the velvet fog".

I've heard that also.

dmize, that is a great story! it's cool when you meet interesting people.
