OMG, she's still around too? Didn't one of those two brothers just pass away? Just read that Tim Considine (The Third Son)had left the series after a fight with Don Fedderson and that Bill absolutely detested his replacement on the show, William Demarest.

vivfantoo* Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks so much for posting this, LFFL.
