CONNECTIONS BEYOND

[VAM]

Let's borrow the magical telephone from Amy's room at Collinwood and use it to connect with someone beyond the grave. With whom would you like to chat? It could be a character from DS,  a celebrated person, or a loved one. By the way, it is not a toll call so you don't have to worry about a bill-just have fun!

I would sure like to chat with Craig Slocum. I have lots to say to him! I also would ask him some questions, like why he left Dark Shadows, did he ever get married, have children, when was he diagnosed with diabetes, where was he at the time of his death, where is he buried, what inspired him to be an actor & at what age did he become one, where is his family so they can receive acknowledgment of my JDRF memorial gifts in his memory, and I'm sure I could think of many other things!

I would request a conference call to all the dearly departed from Collinwood/sport, this way I would enjoy a very long distance with everyone who I loved over the years... since I am earth bound.

[bawl]I would wish to call Grayson, Louis, Joel, Thayer, Joan, and any other denizens of DS that I can't recall at the moment and tell them how much I have enjoyed watching them for the past 30 years.
On a personal level, I would contact my father, mother, brother, grandparents, father and mother-in-law, sister-in- law and brother- in- law.  I would especially like to talk to my brother. I have missed him  for the last l5 years and tell him what a wonderful young lady his little girl has grown into.  Oh, wishful thinking.....

Another interesting topic VAM...

People I didn't know personally but would have liked to have met:

Jimmy Stewart, Bette Davis, James Dean, Walt Disney, Vincent Van Gogh, Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, William Shakespeare, John Lennon, Victor Hugo, C. S. Lewis, Queen Elizabeth I, The Queen Mum, Mary, St. Francis, St. Patrick, St. Peter, St. Peregrine, and the Apostles.

The dearly departed of DS: Joan, Louis, Thayer, & Grayson.

On a personal level: All 4 of my grandparents, my aunts and uncles who've recently gone - but mostly my dad who left us way too soon in the spring of 1962 at the age of 38.

I think we're going to need phone card with a lot of minutes!

Thanks CastleBee. The magical telephone made me think of Stevie Wonder's song "I Just Called to Say I Love You" and those deceased members that I miss on a daily basis.

All 4 of my grandparents,

I never met any of my grandparents, they all died before I was born. At least my daughter has 2 of hers living.

The magical phone reminded me of when my Dad died.  My son was five at the time and he could not understand why even if Papa was in heaven why couldn't he just call us or write us a letter every once in awhile.  At the get together after the funeral he told my  Mom someday if she married again it would be O.K. if she married a man who looked like Papa and his name was Joe, my Dads name.

I would love to talk to so many people I have lost, my Dad of course, my dear friend who I lost to breast cancer, my husbands mother who I never had a chance to meet, everyone said wonderful things about her, the list goes on and on

I'd like to participate in a conference call with Steve, my friend Kuby and Grayson. . .I only hope she'll have some gin on her end 'cuz we'd have vodka on ours. . .and tea of course, Steve.  ..

Fun question, (and easy to answer!)

I'd want to talk to Jesus Christ, Marilyn Monroe, and Florence Ballard.

I would love to talk to so many people I have lost

Of my relatives who have died, I would like to talk to my aunt Mary and uncle Joseph, they were twins, from my Mother's side of the family.

If there actually was a direct phone line to the Dearly Departed of DS, do you think Grayson Hall would still tell Connie that she's full of sh*t?
