Thank you for helping me with my thread, Kevin. I knew a Kevin in school. Shy boy, bit of a nerd. I agreed to be his date/girl on his arm at a dance after some classmates bullied him horribly. I had Mom make me look as pretty as possible so Kevin would feel good. As beautiful a dress as possible for the same reason - i wanted so much to make sure that that young boy had the happiest night of his life.
I don't know where Kevin is today - I've tried to trace him multiple times.
Kevin i wanted this thread to be about Samantha. Perfectly innocent. I couldn't delete the off-topic drift and i should not have indulged it.
While she and Duke possibly would have been at odds, she was of noble and heartwarming intent and reminded us that it is the world's children that will have to live with the consequences of what we do.
The Queen is dead. Long live the King.
My grandfather and great-grandfather were veterans of the Second and First World Wars, respectively.
All I said when I added my note to the Books of Condolences (both the Australian and British ones) was this:
"Rest easy, ma'am. Your work is all done here. We - and your son - have the watch".
*hugs* and care to anyone who wishes for them.
April 4th 1980. Last generation of kids who got to see a repeat of Song of the South on one of the main (Aussie) networks.
The baby from GWTW is still alive as far as i know.
Hi all. I was in exile on Tatooine.
To make up for it, here's me as a kid!
I just want to remember a little girl from Maine who wrote a letter to an 'Evil Empire and led America on a tour of the Soviet Union.
Remember shows where cutesy kids sung current or classic songs to make the adults watching go "aww!"?
Of course, these shows often didn't check whether the lyrics were still OK when sung by a child. Think six year old girl singing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend".
I kind of don't like the promotion of Irish stereotypes that happen widely on St Pats Day. Green beer, green clothing etc.. Never mind that Irish folklore is quite clear about how dangerous the Fair Folk can be, nothing like their Hollywoodized "Darby O'Gill" image.
