I have tried making threads and i have posted some new items in their proper ongoing threads, but its a complete waste of time when you get zero replies and only a like from JMS1223 & JBK, it's like "why bother".
So, I stopped posting. I just talk to JMS1223 via PM.
Just think of it as your own personal forum.
Rip Fernando Valenzuela
That looks like the ones I got years ago. I think his signature got slightly more messy over the years.
RIP, Teri Garr. Obtained TTM in 1997.
This is a great photo I got from Dame Joan Plowright back in 1999 when I wrote to her in England asking for an autograph.
RIP, Ruth Buzzi, best known for her role on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. My autographed photo of her, from 1998.
I'm not sure if I ever got a signed photo from Ruth Buzzi but a year or two ago I did get back a sketch by her of her character "Gladys".
Retired Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter, the New Hampshire Republican who served 20 years on the bench, has passed away at age 85. I got a presumably authentic autographed photo from Souter in 1998.
AFAIK Souter never used an autopen, so it's real.
After he left the SC he stopped most TTM autographing, but he did reply occassionally to letters. I got a few nice replies that way.
Thank you for telling me that.
Nice message by Ruth.
Baseball Hall-of-Famer Dave Parker passed away today at age 74, as the Pirates announced just prior to the start of today’s game. The sad news comes less than a month before Parker was officially set to be inducted into Cooperstown, as Parker and Dick Allen (like Parker, a former MVP and seven-time All-Star) were voted into the Hall by the Era Committee last winter.
That really stinks about the timing, but at least he knew he'd be going in.
Yeah, really sad.
RIP Dave Parker
