I am really glad I found this board ! I am new to it and think it's awesome. I have a question. For any of you LITB fan's who have read Jerry Matthers books' , what was his relationsip with Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont ? Thanks for your responses .

I read in Jerry Mathers' book that everyone got along very well but Barbara Billingsley didn't treat the boys as if they were her own sons as far as disciplining and things like that. She had 2 sons of her own in real life.

I'm not sure, but Hugh had a heartattack and died in the early 1980's so they can't have a relationship anymore. :(

Isnt that sad?!

I think Jerry got along great with Barbara and Hugh during the show.

Jerry had a sad story about Hugh in his book though, that made me cry my eyes out. Jerry went to a store and saw Hugh. Hugh already had been diagnosed with Tyret (?) Syndrome. Hugh started cursing, and I don't think Hugh really recognized Jerry. That story made me cry my eyes out though.

You mean to tell us that Hugh Beaumont had gotten Tourette Syndrome? How sad............ I never knew this.......:crying:

I think Tourette Syndrome is what Hugh had before he died. It's been a long time since I read Jerry's book, but I think it was Tourette. Can anybody tell me if I have it right?
