ART LINKLETTER DEAD AT 97 ..

Wow! I confess, given his age and how long ago he was active in entertainment, I'm pleasantly surprised he lived to this day. You cannot do much better than he did. He lived a great life, was richly rewarded for what he loved doing, and was universally admired by everyone.

And he lived to be 97 years old!

This man won the lottery of life!

Art Linkletter was like a member of my family. I grew up a "latchkey kid". My mother and dad both had to work. I was alone 3 hours a day after school, dad worked second shift, mom worked first. Art did a show on kids like me, and explained, not to the parents, but to the kids, on mom and dad probably HAVING to work as mine did. I already knew that. I did my own cooking, did work in the house and the yard, and helped keep the home going. The world won't see many more men like Art or Bob Keeshan(Capt. Kangaroo). Art kept me company as a child(along with DARK SHADOWS) and there are just no people on TV anymore than works to give out information on day to day living like they did. Art was a HELP before the netwroks sold out to Norman Lear in 1970, and TV ain't been squat since, and squat is not the word I really mean. The world was, and is, a better place because of men like Art Linkletter.

Oh yeah! Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo) was a marvelous man! Man how I wish children shows could be like that again! My kids have absolutely no idea what they have missed! That was a wholesome show filled with good honest fun and laughs!

I'd love to see the ping pong balls fall of his head again! LOL!! :icon_lol:
