Chicago...my kinda town

In December my daughter Becca and I headed to Chicago for a special dinner at the beautiful Lovells of Lake Forest Restaurant in Illinois. You'll see some familiar faces in this shot, Ruth Buzzi, June Lockhart, Jon Provost, Tony Dow, Paul Peterson, Dawn Wells, Ken Osmond, Jerry Mathers, Joyce DeWitt, Larry Thomas, Kathy Garver, Russell Johnson and Charlotte Martin...Becca enjoyed hanging out with Nate Torrence the Capital One guy and the fellows from 'The Christmas Story' Scott Schwartz, RD Robb, Ian Petrella and Zach Ward. Fortunately Becca and I were able to take a few days to enjoy Chicago in the snow, shopping Michigan Avenue and enjoying the sites.

Holidays past and a New Year awaits

Re-Sound Of Music

It was great to be with my 'Sound of Music' family again celebrating our 40th Anniversary of making the film. We were sent to NYC to celebrate the newly released DVD of the movie with additional footage.

The 40th Anniversary DVD release party at the Tavern On The Green in New York City with Julie Andrews and the rest of the Von Trapp Movie Family. Christopher Plummer could not attend because he was filming a movie.

Whenever I see my movie 'brothers and sisters we have many fond memories and many laughs..

Here we are appearing on 'Good Morning America'to announce the release of the new DVD with bonus features.

Diane Sawyer was charming.

This photo was taken when we gathered to film our recollections that appear on the DVD. Sometimes it seems like only yesterday we shot the film.

So it Begins...

When all was 'said and done' it was time to take the leap into blogging. I think it will cement the theory that change is good. It's an experiment worth undertaking...
