Kathy Gregory was Wally's date who the drunk pushed into the fountain. She had a mean dad. Wayne Gregory had a mustache, and Julie threw Wally over for him.

Mr. Compton was an attorney friend of Ward's, and Beaver engaged him to get out of a modeling contract.

Wally mentioned Bennett Cerf in an episode.

Harrison is one of Gilbert's 3 last names; Whitey naming off the first 10 presidents (just heard that this morning).

Is Mr. Parker Beaver's coach, when he flubs at basketball?

I like that "hard one" at the end--they're all hard!

Need help on the rest, not to mention finding the 2nd appearance...

In "Brother vs. Brother" (5-31), I just now noticed yet another reference to Mr. Harrison (Gilbert--by now Harry is gone). I know in an episode a few days ago he had become Bates. This is more of a mixed-up mess than I knew.

Very strange how they couldn't keep his name consistent. Those male teachers were so formal with last names. I think in Season 6 he's back to Bates. I knew a boy in grammar school who had one name and next day came with a new last name. I guess his step father adopted him.

Parker Cartwright Nelson

Mr. Parker (Jess Fitzpatrick) hired Eddie at Parker's Pet Store in The Big Fish Count.
Myra Parker wanted Wally to buy her an orchid. Her last name is said very quickly by Ward when they're waiting for Wally to come home.

In Perfume Salesmen Ward says he has a golf date with Mr. Cartwright.
In Beaver's Lucky Day he is supposed to fight Sonny Cartwright.

In Wally's Car it's Mr. Nelson (Jess Fitzpatrick) who sells him his first drivable car.
In an episode that escapes me Wally wants to know if he can go on a trip with Mr. Nelson, his science or some teacher.

Another reference to Gilbert's last name. It was pointed out in Brother vs. Brother he was Mr. Harrison. A few episodes later in Long Distance Call he's Gilbert Bates. I don't get it!
