>>As a child I liked Beany and Cecil.

For those of you in Southern California, we had Engineer Bill on Channel 9 and Sheriff John on Channel 11. Hobo Kelly did nothing for me though. I was a bit too old when she showed up. LOL

I won a Frisbee from Engineer Bill at the Grand Opening of a Shopping Bag Grocery Store. Life was good.<<

Engineer Bill went on to be Stock Broker in the Valley. Not sure what happened to Sheriff John.

Wow — Beanie and Cecil was Bob Clampett (and, if you get a chance go back and watch again — the wit and social commentary is rapier-like! Even moreso than Jay Ward (believe it or not).

Sheriff John (Rovick) is still alive, and will turn 91 next October. His positive influence on millions of Boomers continue to be his legacy.

I remember meeting Engineer Bill (Stulla) when I was in the single digits. Always with a smile and a laugh. Sadly, he passed in 2008 at the age of — get this — 97! I suspect that living a good and honest life extends it greatly (I am doomed to early demise by that measure!)

All of a sudden I'm feeling a bit old. I think I was 10 or 11 when I met Engineer Bill, way back in the early 60’s!

Sheriff John, Put another candle on your Birthday Cake...
To this day, I remember him hawking Maggio Carrots on his show.
