There's a few good 'Little Rascals' sites, and I mainly cut-and-pasted.
Fun stuff. I LOVED the 'Our Gang' (AKA 'Little Rascals') shorts when I was growing up.
Nobody mentioned "Froggy"
Froggy -- William Robert Laughline was killed in a motor scooter accident at
age 16. Laughline was killed in a motor scooter accident near Huntington Beach, CA in the early 1950s.
Wheezer was killed at Merced AAC field when my father was stationed there btw.

I met Spanky (George McFarland) before he died. His sister still lives in my hometown, (a small Dallas suburb) and was once on City Council.
And now...........can you tell me what this means?
"Qwertyuiop!"
Sounds like a canary trapped in a doorjam!

I couldn't think of anything, and I was in a hurry to go somewhere, so I just typed the first few letters on the top alphabet line on my keyboard.
Not that it relates to this thread, but I just did this, too:
Have a lovely morning!
Geez, that's funny!
Died at age 18, not 22. (b. 1918, d. 1936)
Mathew Bear led a life of crime and drugs. He died of a stroke at age 56.
Matthew Beard (not Bear). He went sober and went back into acting. He can be seen in a few episodes of Sanford and Son.
He was poisoned by an unknown assailant.
There were several Pete's.
You didn't know that was Robert Blake (in the middle, being hauled away by the policeman!). Did you? Robert Blake, Born Mickey Gubitosi was indeed on Our Gang.
Speaking as an Our Gang fan, No S$%^ Sherlock.
Hal Roach lived to be 100 (and was a guest on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno).
He outlived most of his discoveries (Our Gang and The Little Rascals, as well as Laurel and Hardy).
I met Dorothy De Borba a few years ago (Echo), probably around 2000.
This is not my photo, but here she is with Porky:
OMG that is sooooo funnny!
I was baptized by Pastor Smith(Waldo) when i was 12.
He was my pastor and family friend for many years, and went to school with his son Donald.
We would watch his private collection of Our Gang movies
on an occational Saturday night.
Darwood K. Smith was an incredible man
Thanks for your kind reply.
I grew up watching the ‘Our Gang’ shorts (during the ‘60s). They were on TV every Sunday when we got home from church.
Pics won’t show up and I can’t get the related website’s links to open at that website.
Can you offer a link that will work?
Would love to see the pics.
Blessings,
