I don't know how i forgot about this incident .. I just remembered it tonight!
. . .circa 1985-86, a gal from my hometown (Russell, KS), Marjorie Mahoney Dusay (a.k.a. Blair's Mom-Facts of Life or Alexandra Spaulding on GL and the WOMAN who stole Spock's brain!) had a tennis/golf benefit tournament. Several minor celebrities attended . . Mindy Cohn, Catherine Hickland, that cute guy who was married (in real life) to the Eden Actress from Santa Barbara. . and Dennis Patrick (I think they all had the same publicist or something). Anyway. . i stood on a remote corner (right near our Main St house) awaiting the B.I.G. parade of celebrities in vintage cars with my brother, who is obviously disabled. And this gentleman got out of his car and came to talk with my brother. They both kidded for several minutes . . .and that lovely gentleman, i just remembered tonight was Mr. Dennis Patrick.
Nice memory, glad I reclaimed it.
