Six Degrees...

My dad was in Los Angeles during World War II recooperating from a gunshot wound ti the leg he suffered on the Island of Saipan. He did quite a bit of sightseeing while there, in fact there are photos of him at Hollywood and Vine Streets. Today, they'd call it "clubbing," although dad never was much into the alcohol part of the deal.
Somewhere, in one of these clubs he ran into future game show host Garry Moore of To Tell the Truth and other TV shows. He said, "Hello, Garrison Moorefit!"
and Mr Moore's reply was, "How the hell did YOU know?"
My grandmother, Marsha had taught him piano and dad remembered him. Mr Moore's full name was Thomas Garrison Moorefit, III.
Dad also got a kick out of seeing Bing Crosby without his toupee.
I guess that's my six degrees of separation with that particular famous person.
In the motion picture, "The Graduate" there was "Mrs Robinson" whom Simon and Garfunkel sang of in the title song and top ten hit. Well MISTER Robinson was played by Murray Hamilton, born and buried in Washington, North Carolina and, you guessed it, another student of my grandmother. Hamilton also had a role in the "Jaws" film.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
