For freakin real! I looked at that age posted and then did some counting in my head. Wow! He was 42 when he did Good Times. BTW, Brain. Thanks for your contrinution to the minnova download board. I was trying to download "War At Home". Can you seed it for me? Another question. How do you seed? I added Torrents for Knots Landing and A Different World and I wanted to seed. Help Me! If you are not the same person then disregard the message.

He had an interesting bio.

What's more interesting is that he was a good twenty years older than BernNdette Stanis!
