R.I.P. Childhood Icons

Note: if you didn't grow up near Chicago during the sixties & seventies, this may not mean much to you

Damn...yesterday, Ray Rayner bought the big one. Today, it's Captain Kangaroo taking the long dirt nap.

The following folks should assign someone to check on them, periodically, while they sleep tonight:

1) B. J., off of "BJ and Dirty Dragon"
2) The dude from "Magic Door"
3) Miss Nancy from "Romper Room" (I see...Billy and Susie and Janie over there....)
4) Jimmy from H.R. Pufinstuf
5) Bozo's dead, but the little fruity guy who was the one-man band in the end...he should sleep with one eye open tonight.
