Happy Birthday, Jack!
Do know you are remembered far and wide and missed by many. In the past three weeks, two people have asked how they can obtain your paintings. I told them that most are in private collections. Your art truly is cherished. Here, on your blog page, we spent two months re-watching H50 episodes and commenting on interesting observations. I hope we can resume that weekly challenge after the holidays. I also wish more people had access to the "Stoney Burke" DVDs. Several of us have said we think your best acting is seen there. Certainly, you made Stoney a character to be admired and respected, just as you made McGarrett a character to be admired and respected -- all because you put so much of yourself into each of them.
Hau'oli la hanau!
P.S. Tell Marie hello for us and give her our love.
Two years ago I married my long time boyfriend Tony of 36 years on December 30th. That way I would never forget our anniversary! Since then I can't believe the madness of the world. I think Jack lived the best of times, in all of history. People like Jack and Marie who could be proud of their life achievements and celebrate them. I think a movie should be made of his life to truely show how remarkable he was. His life showed how a leader should be. He embodied the perfection we should all strive to be. Happy Birthday, Jack Lord.
Nice post - love the pictures! My husband surprised me with the complete series DVDs of "Stoney Burke" for Christmas! Wasn't expecting it at all, so I was all smiles. We've already watched two episodes and I know that I'll enjoy all of it. Happy Birthday, Jack!
The Stoney Burke Collection is available on Amazon.com I purchased the set a few years ago and haven't sat down to watch it yet.
