Well alright!!!
Uncle Vito kicks ass!!! I stopped by to see him a little while ago and saw that we had used the same picture of Captain Kangaroo. I said as much in his comments and asked if Sally Starr was still alive...(actually, I said 'kickin'. but....lol)
Here's what I got back in an email from him:
First of all, I'm alive and doing very well, thank you. Five years ago New Year's Eve, I had a massive heart attack. I stared fate right in the
face, appeared at the same place NY Eve 1998, wore the same gown, did the
same countdown and everything turned out just fine. If you would like to write to me, I will give you an address that only
my friends have... Sally Starr, Box ### - Atco, NJ 08004. By the way, my birthday is on January 25th. I am in the process of
creating a biography of life and times on Delaware Valley Television and am
seeking any photos, videos, memorabilia, anything regarding Popeye Theatre,
Sally Starr, etc. Please send your scans letters objects, etc. to the PO BOX
above in Atco. Wow.
First of all: Happy Birthday, Dear Lady. You were another conerstone of my childhood and I'm sooo glad you're doing good! How cool that I asked about you just in time to be able to say Happy Birthday....
Second...I didn't post her box number because I don't know if it's a P.O. box or her house number...in Jersey, especially Atco, it could be either and I don't want to put it out there unless one of two things happens. Either she says it's okay to do or someone has something she's looking for. If ya do, let me know and I'll slip ya the address. If she says it's okay, I'll post it.
Third...I can't help but wonder one teeny, tiny thing....does everybody ask if she's still alive, or did she somehow see my question? Lord...my heart seized when I saw her first sentence...No offense intended, if it was me she was answering. Anyway...I'm glad to know she's still here. Haven't lost my childhood entirely...
Yay!!!
