A few years older than me. The Osmond's were a small piece of my 70s memories like the Love Boat, slot cars, my Schwinn Stingray with the race plate or Farrah Fawcett.

I remember the Osmonds growing up. I’m surprised Jimmy is still so young, I had them pegged as much older. I always liked Marie Osmond - the others were for my sister to adore.

Must not have been much of a stroke if he had time to sign a few autographs.
Call me sceptical but dont call me Shirley.

“The entertainer managed to complete the performance and then signed autographs for fans before going to hospital.”
That is exactly what doctors recommend when you are are having a stroke.
Complete your day of work, sign a few autographs, make you way to hospital.

Speaking of Jerry Mathers...

Leave It to Beaver's Jerry Mathers reveals he lost 25 kilos following shock health diagnosis.
The 69-year-old is putting his health first. He was the cheeky little brother in the US sitcom Leave It to Beaver, and all these years later, Jerry Mathers has just come out of a terrifying health ordeal.
The 69-year-old child star -- who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 1997 -- recently revealed he lost 25 kilograms after he was told he had three to five years to live if he didn't manage his condition.

This is the second time he’s had a stroke and didn’t realize it until later. After the first he had a hole in his heart repaired. So who knows what caused this one.

Larry Mondello was a bad influence on the Beaver.
You could even say that Larry Mondello was hard on the Beaver.

He's obese.
That and smoking are so hard on the body, which can only take so much.

I went to see them perform as a girl. Just watched a documentary on them a few days ago. Hope he’s OK.
To: Blue House Sue
Over there in England yes as they will delay treatment unlike here so you might as well say your goodbyes to a cheering crowd.
