So strange....at the beginning of the year, one of the TV channels I watch started showing reruns of Diff'rent Strokes a few times a week. I had forgotten how much I love the show and have been making it a point to catch it. Just yesterday I was looking up and reading about all of the actors on the show. RIP, Mr. Drummond!!

Wow, where does the time go? I honestly thought he was a decade or so younger. I too loved the show.

Sleep peacefully, Mr. Drummond. :rose:
