SoCal PBS exec shares his childhood memories of DS
« on: December 05, 2009, 09:51:57 PM »
The VP of Southern California station KCET blogs near the recent Halloween about how his childhood fascination with DS influenced his reaction to a childhood loss:

(The update has comments from PBS Producer TJ Lubinsky that the Carey Mansion is deserted and possibly facing demolition; this is not true.)

Thanks for sharing this piece, Midnite. I had missed it.

How neat to hear that someone actually named their daughter after Grayson Hall.  [santa_thumb]

Absolutely fabulous article which I can relate to in many many ways. I too was raised protestant.  I too also have sang all my life at weddings, funerals etc. I have shared the fact that I like graveyards and in many ways can identify with him.  The supernatural has always fascinated me.  I tell my Aunt it's her fault for sitting with me on her couch and us watching a graphic vampire movie when I was about 7!  I loved it!  My fascination has grown considerably since then!

Naming ones daughter Grayson Hall is the most awesome things I have heard in quite a while.  I think Grayson would be very pleased if she were still with us to know the impact she has had on so many. And maybe she does know?? :)  AWESOME Midnite! THANK YOU SO MUCH!  That was a amazing read.

If you like DS and want to have a fun  on a Facebook page that is open to all forms of DS and doesn't allow childish behavior like some groups; come on over to DIAESD! You do have to ask to be invited and I will approve you.

Though the sad fact is that because the house really is literally crumbling and that Salve is no longer using it as a dorm, it's easy to see how some people might speculate and fear it could be torn down.  [santa_sad]  Especially now that it probably is completely empty if the Careys have moved back to NY for the season...

I can say the Carey's plan to restore the house. Their daughter is an architect and she loves the house and is actively working on that.
