No problem. I have been very lucky to hear from people who knew Craig personally. It is fun! I will share what I can, am getting together a biography. I am very happy that my website for Craig has touched other peoples lives, and brought back memories for those who knew him. I am glad I took on this task, for a "wonderful person".

I'm sure they have given him a raucous welcome.

At the Festival in June, when I went to get Dennis Patrick's autograph, he was staring at my Craig Slocum T-shirt, and said "Who is that?" I hope he meets him.

The nickname "Rusty" definetely suits Craig! I wonder if his fellow DS cast members ever called him this too?

I doubt if they did. They only knew him as Craig from what I know. It took someone like me to find out these things.

I am hoping to provide a biography on Craig Slocum. I have been working on it for 3 years, info on him is so obscure. I am making progress though. It will happen!    

I first met Dennis Patrick at the Dark Shadows Festival in 1999, saw him again at the last Fest, and at the House of Dark Shadows screening in CA in 2000. I have pics that were taken of me and him on my websites. Just click on my profile, then click on Cheryl's Dark Shadows. I also have an autographed pic of him as Jason McGuire on my wall, liked him best in that role. I have some of my autographed 8x10's hung up, as well as some autographed posters, only a fraction of them! Dennis Patrick was a nice man, really got to talk to him in 1999, when my Mom and I were in the Marriott restaurant, having breakfast one morning. He came in with his assistant, and sat down at the table next to us,  we had a nice chat, and he also talked about his wife who passed away a number of years ago. I hope he has been reunited with her. He will be missed at the Dark Shadows Festival. May he rest in peace and happiness. I'm glad he was not burned in the fire. Ironically, just a couple of days ago, my daughter and I were sitting in a fire truck, listening to a fireman telling us about fire safety. While my family and I were out shopping, the Las Vegas Fire Dept., were having a fire safety workshop at Home Depot, out front. My daughter put together a wooden fire truck, and we painted it, then we went over to see a real fire truck, and they let us get inside. We were given lots of literature on fire safety, which I will surely read. I live in a 2 story home myself. One of the things mentioned was a lot of people die from smoke inhalation, long before the fire gets to them.      

 Do you remember the game called pick-up-sticks?

My daughter and I just got home a little while ago from a birthday party at our neighbors house, and one of the prizes my daughter won was pick-up-sticks.

Speeking of specs, I can't wait to get rid of mine. I am scheduled for Lasik vision correction surgery on Oct. 24th.  

I actually ran Abe Vigoda's fan club when he was on DS.

I keep waiting to hear from someone who was in Craig Slocum's fan club, he had one too. Guess they're gone with the wind.
