Thanks for your message Petofi!  Do I know you from perhaps meeting you at a DS fest?  

As you may know, I met Thayer David on several occasions at the DS studio.  He was sooo nice to the fans and stayed outside for a long time signing autographs, posing for pics and chatting with each one of us! I will always remember his "bellowing" laugh.  And, of course, his fine acting on DS.  I don't believe he ever flubbed any of his lines or at least I don't remember him doing so. The only Thayer David blooper I can remember is when he walked in "on camera" during the ending credits.  Are there any others?

Hi Everybody!

I wanted to add a few comments to Rod Labbe's post regarding his forthcoming DS article in Autograph Collector (AC) magazine.  For those of you who may not know me, I am Dee Kearney who used to run the official Louis Edmonds fan club in the late 60's to 1970.

Rod's article in AC is very interesting, entertaining and one in which I believe you will truly find enjoyable and fun to read!  It gives a great perspective from a fan club president's point of view and covers our experiences with running a fan club (f.c.) back in the original days of DS.

If you'd like to check out AC's website, Mr. Juggins has provided the URL below.  Thanks, Mr. J!

Hopefully, there will be mention of the forthcoming DS article on their website soon.

Also, with the help of our incredible Mr. Juggins, I plan to launch the new DS Fan Club President's website next month, around the same time the DS article is published in A.C.  The website will feature:

Many pics of the f.c. presidents from the late 1960's to 1971 (some with DS stars);

A photo taken at Lara Parker's apartment in NY;

Examples of the various items distributed in f.c. membership kits such as a Joan Bennett postcard and a David Selby (Quentin) "Wanted" poster;

Several articles written by f.c. presidents and fans who have had personal experiences with meeting and visiting DS stars (such as Grace Pichardo who attended Alexandra's wedding on October 28, 1967;

Plus more!

As Rod mentioned in his post, we are hoping DS fans everywhere will "feel and experience what we all went through as addle-brained fan addicts".  

I am hoping everybody will share our excitement and enthusiasm as we walk down memory lane or should we refer to it as "Collinwood" Lane? :-)

Thanks very much!

Dee
