oops! yeah that's Al Newman. Nice gallery otherwise, great to see those.

That smile and laughter, he looked like he was always having fun. I think that is why Joe, probably every bit the player will never be as we'll liked

Mary Richards wasn't the only one in Minnesota who could turn the world on with a smile.

 

Who could resist Kirby?
