Donna Reed died of pancreatic cancer in Beverly Hills, California, on January 14, 1986, 13 days shy of her 65th birthday. She had been diagnosed with the illness three months earlier and told it was at a terminal stage.

Stop for a second: I have a query, pose the question, receive the kind
and well intentioned help of several people, thank them all, and then...

.... One of them says I'm an asshole and an ingrate because he wanted to
be thanked personally.

Give me your address, and I will send you a box of chocolates and a card
if you like. Will that be okay?

There were several different Lassies and they were all male collies because male collies are prettier than female collies. Mr Ed and Rin Tin Tin are both dead now too.

My computer is in the "formal" living room, nowhere near the TV. If my
desk wasn't in this room I doubt the room would ever get much use.
Waste of space but that's the way houses were designed back then. I
don't think my parents ever used this room. There just happened to be a
cable jack in this corner and since my ISP is Comcast it worked out
fine! I watch short videos online, sure. Even though my desk chair
is comfy, I don't care to sit here watching 30 minute shows or movies.

MeTV shows Perry Mason twice a day, once in the morning and again late
at night.

Lt. Tragg was played by Ray Collins. He was great in that role. I've
seen him in a in a lot of old films, mainly drama.

Hamilton Burger - love that character's name! played by William Talman.

Did you ever see William Talman in an old movie "The Hitch-Hiker"?
Creepy! He played a mass murderer who informed the people who picked
him up he planned to kill them at the end of the ride. Fun stuff!

BTW, something eerily similar happened to my oldest brother and a couple
of his friends, but in reverse. My brother (he would have been about 19
at the time) decided to hitch hike back to SC from TN. He talked a
couple of friends into going along. They were picked up by a couple of
older guys who drove them most of the way. All my brother remembered
was they had really good pot. (Hey, it was the early 70's, what can I
say?) One of his friends lost their wallet in the car before the guys
dropped them off. When the men were finally caught, his friends' wallet
was found on the floor in the car. These guys were wanted for multiple
murders. I remember my parents and the other parents being frantic,
thinking they'd been killed and bodies dumped somewhere along the way. Wow.

Wow, is right! I remember seeing a movie called The Hitchhiker but don't
know if I remember him playing the part.

There have been a bunch of movies involving hitch hikers. This was an
old black & white film (1953-ish). I saw it on Turner Classics a couple
of years ago. He really creepy in that role. So *not* like the
character of Hamilton Burger!

About the men who picked up my brother and his friends, my brother said
they seemed like okay guys. Yeah, sure, except they were running from
the law after killing a few people. He and his friends got off lucky.
