And yet another important connection to The Monkees television series passes from this life. :(
Writer Stanley Zachary (?) "Zack" Cherry, who, with the late Joel Kane, composed the script to Episode No. 56 of The Monkees, "Some Like It Lukewarm" (a.k.a. "The Band Contest"), has succumbed to cancer on September 27, 2006 at the age of 74. In addition to The Monkees, Cherry produced, directed and/or wrote episodes for a variety of series, including The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Kids from C.A.P.E.R., The Addams Family, Gilligan's Island and The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis (his first venture with Joel Kane). He wrote the 1971 film Bunny O'Hare with Monkee writing alumnus Coslough Johnson. Variety has an obituary (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117951194.html?categoryid=1043&cs=1&query=stanley%2Bcherry).
To absent friends... :( :crying: ohno: :rip:
