Arthur,

When Stumpy posted the news, it must have just been released, because when we checked Google for news stories, most of what came up was very recent. You were literally napping (i.e., sleeping for the night ).

We knew it from reading it here, otherwise would have heard it on the radio this morning while getting ready for work.

Jen, my 14 year old daughter and 8 year old son love to play "Sobbin' Women" over and over on the DVD of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - I think you would like hanging out with our family and watching old movies together .

We're sorry to hear about the death of Howard Keel. Just the other night, we were watching The War Wagon, and realized that was Howard Keel! Our family has also enjoyed him in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (what a singing voice) and Showboat.

And who could forget his role as Clayton Farlow in Dallas? I don't know if his character was part of tonight's special reunion show, but he didn't even get to watch it.

After I had gotten Steve Kanaly's (Ray on Dallas) autograph yesterday, I went back about half an hour later to get one for Les Adams, and Mr. Kanaly had left unexpectedly early. I wonder if he had gotten a call . . . .

Another Hollywood great gone. Thanks for letting us know, Stumpy!
