Happy Monday!
It’s been a while. Either things have been crazy busy or I just haven’t had that much to say. You decide.
But I’m back with what turned out to be the rather ironically-timed passing of famed “Hogan’s Heroes” and “Family Feud” star Richard Dawson at the age of 79. I say ironic because less than two weeks ago, my Podcast featured former “Purtan’s Person” Tom Delisle, who worked with Richard Dawson in California for years. He wrote more than 20 monologues for the witty Brit that Richard used when he filled in as guest host for Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show”. Through our discussion, we not only got great stories about Johnny Carson - but also about Richard Dawson himself. Tom spent a lot of time with him over the years as both his writer and his friend.
If you haven’t heard the Podcast (#44) you can find it on iTunes, the DickPurtan.com homepage, or by simply clicking on the following link.
Hope you enjoy it, and as Richard used to say… “Give us a kiss luv!”
