Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,384 Likes: 1 | Dang it all, I could not hold my breath any longer! Dan you better post right away.  And Brian, some how I missed the thread of posts regarding Jack Klugman and the suggestion of an OCF family reunion. Perhaps it should have been a separate post?

Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 67 | Mark is right, this thread got side tracked somewhere in the middle, for which I apologise, but it went to reunions to public exposure and fund raisers, and back again. Sorry Dan, I got caught up inthe reunion and fundraiser idea...........and that doesn't take away from the postive thoughts for you I feel.
