Charles ``Buck'' Thurman was released from jail in 1991 after serving seven years for nearly killing Motuzick June 10, 1983. He was sentenced in 1984 to a 20-year term, suspended after 14 years.

Judge Walsh took the unusual step of granting Mrs. Motuzick's request for a permanent restraining order against her abusive ex-husband.

Tracy Thurman was a character the Nancy played in a movie. Yes, this is the FOL board but people talk about the actors themselves here from time to time too, and other things they might be doing.
I don't see anything wrong with that. Basically everyone sticks to FOL topics here, but I don't mind reading about what the actors are up to in their lives after FOL too.

OK yes, it was interesting, but TJ, I have a suggestion. How about you start an Nancy McKeon board? It would keep board sizes down a bit.

HAHAHA!  Funny, CC Anyway, I agree with Eva. It's nice to know about the actresses. People come on here and talk about Lisa's chats, me being one of them, and no one jumps on anybody for that. FOL was made up by the actresses who played them. We must use our imagination to know what the characters of FOL are up to now days, but we can keep up with the actresses who portrayed them. (Sorry, I know, I confused myself with that as well) As for a Nancy board, TJ has already explained if he makes a board for one actress he will have to make one for all of them. He was totally cool to make a TD board for us, let's not push our luck  Besides, Nancy was on FOL so we can talk about her on just like we talk about, Lisa, Mindy, Kim, Charlotte, Cloris, George, Mackenzie, Sherrie, George, Geri, or whoever! It's an FOL board. If they were on FOL then we're gonna talk about them! That's what us fans do, we just can't help ourselves Thanks for post that info NMK fan! ...I'm gonna go to my hole for now, cause well, it seems to be safer there than here at the present time... Oh yeah, all that above was just my opinion... ks |

I think they can post this info because:
Tracy Thurman was played by Nancy McKeon. Nancy McKeon played Jo a character on the FOL. That's like saying we can't talk about a new Mary Tyler Moore movie at the Mary Tyler Moore board. |
