I forgot to mention that Allan Melvin, perhaps best known for his role as Sam "The Butcher" Franklin on The Brady Bunch, turned 80 years of age Monday!!!

Allan Melvin also played Sergeant Hacker on "Gomer Pyle, USMC" and was excellent as usual in the role. It was fun to watch him always trying to get one over on Sergeant Carter.

Mr. Melvin also had some guest roles on "The Andy Griffith Show", including the competitor for Howard Sprague's girlfriend (IMHO she worked at a bakery). Even though he played an antagonist his presence made the episode one worth watching ad infinitum.
