Very interesting news Craig. It's nice to learn about family members of the stars that left us too early. Larry was an honorable man to learn about. We always seem to get information about the ones that were 'sensational' in the wrong way.

Yes Ben, Buddy made a big impact on the planet and it still reverberates today. He was from very humble roots and made his mark in a big way.

Funny thing is that my daughter lived in an apartment that was literally on the same site as the Holley boys birth home ant where they spent the first few years. It was redeveloped years ago and is now very different, I also asked her to go to Buddy's grave site at the 60th anniversary of his passing, which was really neat, and she took a picture of the gravesite.

On another odd thing, a woman approached

me at a garden talk I did here in NJ recently told me that her father designed Buddy's glasses when he lived in NYC, I have no reason to not believe her, just another interesting story

Thanks for another bit of trivia that I wouldn't have known otherwise. I like these kinds of posts!
