And look at Wisejester 7 right behind me!!! I'm sure she'll not only catch me, but pass me up very soon - 1918 posts as of this writing. Won't be long!
WOW wj7 - how cool is that? Thanks for your input into this forum....cause you've brought a lot of great knowledge to us here.
As I went to one of the links you provided in the HANGMAN thread, it occurs to me that I've actually visited the majority of those places, and I had to stop and think about that - how it happened - TECHNOLOGY provided the places....I was so ignorant about the who's, what's and where's before the Internet. Now, one can find just about anything one is curious enough to "dig" for, eh?
When Ann and I went to LA, we found the CARPENTERS star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - took photos of the Newville house, Lubec street house, and the Close To You / Only Just Begun apartments. We went by Forest Lawn, and saw Downey High School and the Hollywood Bowl....and visited with great anicipation the Richard and Karen Carpenter Performing Arts Center. I recall posting about it after we returned. I was absolutely amazed to be there, looking at one of Karen's Lead Sister tee's - looking at her first set of drums - Richard's keyboard, and Grammy's and other awards, plus Gold after Gold after Gold album. I felt like I was "with" them, you know?
So, wj7, thanks for those links - and thank you to everyone here on the Avenue for your dedication, and your support to Rick and this forum, and for sharing your knowledge and love of all things Carpenters!
