[Shotimes] OT The Captain is gone

[Kerby Haltom]

Yep.  I was never watch the show a whole lot, it moved too slow, and a 
local show here in DFW was running the Three Stooges opposite the 
Captain.  Yes, van Oss, that probably explains alot...  Anyway, between Bob 
Keeshan and Fred Rogers we have lost two of the biggest advocates for 
children in this country.  And two people that were just purely good 
folks.  The world is not as good a place without them.
