Deaths for 2017/03/19 - 2017/04/09

Hello Autograph Seekers and Friends.

During this period we lost a few people of interest.

First on March 20, 2017 we lost showman, Chuck Barris.  He is mostly known for being the colorful host of 'The Gong Show' but he was actually involved with many TV Series and wrote music including the 1962 hit "Palisades Park" recorded by Freddie 'Boom Boom' Cannon.

Next was Lola Albright on March 23.  She was in Many Films and TV Series including 'The Monolith Monsters' (1957), 'Kid Galahad' (1962) (with Elvis Presley),
so many guset spots on the popular television programs of of the 1950's through the 1980's.

On April 6, 2017 we lost comedy legend Don Rickles.  My Rickles made a career of insulting everyone he came in contact with.  Some people did not get his comedy but for us that enjoyed him you knew all of the insults were said with with a wink of the eye.  He would give the most insults to the people that he cared about the most.  The like of hm will not be seen again.

That is all for this post.  Next post will be my Successes this week and also a post about Fan Packs I have received.

Hope you have a full mailbox.  Best of luck in your collecting endeavors.
