The Silver Screen Oasis

Joe, yes I had noticed that you'd slowed down a little, bit did not know it was due to illness. So sorry to learn of that; will think good thoughts for you.

I guess I'll continue to post a photo in here now and then, since no one seems to mind. I like 'working' with you.

Vienna, yes Harry Morgan and Richard Conte were both in the cast, although back then they went by the names Harry Bratsburg and Nicholas Conte. The full cast list is available here:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

DEAN STOCKWELL is 80 today

Dear Joe,

I am so sorry to hear of your ailment. Parkinson disease is so very prevalent now-a-days in us elder statesmen!!

You are very precious to us here on the Oasis and in movie circles too. I hope you are at least comfortable and resting well.

Larry

Thank you PT, Lomm and Larry, for your good wishes. I do appreciate it.
