RIP Pugsley 

Lord, so many of the actors from those old '60's TV shows, that I remember so well, have passed on.  From the show "The Addams Family" only John Astin, who played the father Gomez, and Lisa Loring, who played the daughter Wednesday, are still with us.

Carolyn Jones, Ted Cassidy, Jackie Coogan, and Marie Blake, who I knew better as Blossom Rock, and now Ken Weatherwax, have passed on.

While I now remember Ken from the TV show, at first I did not recognize his name except for the Weatherwax, as his uncle Frank was a well known animal trainer in Hollywood, and another uncle Rudd was even better known as an animal trainer for his work on the never seeming ending TV show "Lassie." What I did not know was that his aunt was that great song and dance actress Ruby Keller. That's keeping it in the family.

R.I.P. Ken.
