That's an interesting story about Barbara Cowsill & Jonathan Frid... I don't think the kids remember it, so I'll mention it, maybe... Of course, Barbara would know who Jonathan Frid was; given their era of fame, I would not have doubted that.
Her (Mother Cowsill) collection of memorabillia (no doubt including some DS stuff) was handed down to daughter Susan. Susan lost everything in the Katrina flood... she was the keeper of all that nostalgic stuff. It's all gone.
But, the one thing they want is the missing brother Barry. He survived much the same way as the survivor "gothick" mentioned. He stayed in a wherehouse during the flood. He had to leave when his supplies ran out... he went to the convention center (they think). He called twice and said it was getting dangerous... looting and shooting. Then, no more word...
They are looking to up the attention the story is receiving... there are some media people interested.
I did see a bit of that show "The Generation Gap" at one of the DC conventions in recent years... not the last one, but a few years ago. One of the Cowsills (I think it was Bob) said he appeared on that show with Mother Barbara. If anyone knows, was David Henesy or Jonathan Frid on that episode? I don't remember that... I bet they all might have been on that show two or three times. They could have taped a bunch of them to air at different times, too. I don't remember the show at all, other than seeing a clip at the DS con. The game show network should run something like that... that would be fun to watch.
