Physicist,

Thanks for keeping FReepers informed of progress in Don and Teri's case.

From Physicist:


This is a press release that was distributed yesterday by Gura and Day, who are representing Don and Teri Adams. Such legal representation does not come cheap, and since Don and Teri are too modest to ask for your assistance, I do it on their behalf. When this case came to a critical pass this past February, Freeper donations made the difference between perseverence and surrender. Any small donation would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be sent to:

Thanks for the very interesting update. The outcome of this move should be interesting.
Wrong time/season to be asking for donations. I've got other financial priorities which have to come first...sorry I simply can't help now.
Wish 'em luck for me.

bump for later

Physicist--thank you for the ping. We are still very interested in Don and Teri's progress toward justice.

Please convey to them that there are still those out there that care very much about them and that appreciate all they have had to endure for the last six years plus.

May God bless them, and bless you too, for being such a good friend. And may He be their protector and shield in the pursuit of justice for them.

Don Adams Update

Born: Apr 13, 1926 - New York City, NY BIO: Born in a multicultural New York City neighborhood, comedian Don Adams joined the Marines upon the outbreak of World War 2. After Guadalcanal, Adams saw little action due to a life-threatening bout of blackwater fever that kept him out of commission until the end of the war. As a civilian, Adams tried at first to carve out a career as a professional artist, taking outside jobs to support himself and his family. Blessed with a gift for mimicry, Adams and a friend teamed up for a comedy act, but response was minimal and soon Adams was involved in the cartographic and engineering business. Then in 1954, he auditioned on a whim for Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts; his routine went over, and he was on his way. Collaborating with his close friend Bill Dana, Adams developed a topnotch act full of "inside" showbiz references that fortunately never went over the heads of the audience. His best monologue was "The Defense Attorney", wherein Adams adopted the clipped speech cadence of actor William Powell. Though he would be seen in a variety of sketches during his nightclub years and his early-1960s stint as a regular on The Perry Como Show, it was the Powell imitation that scored highest. Adams would use this voice for the cartoon character of Tennessee Tuxedo in 1963, and that same year expanded on the impression in the role of inept house detective Byron Glick on The Bill Dana Show. The "spy cycle" of 1965 enabled Adams to refine the Byron Glick character into the magnificently self-confident but monumentally inept secret agent Maxwell Smart on the hit TV sitcom Get Smart, which ran until 1970. In addition to providing Adams a conduit for his beloved movie parodies, the series also gave him an opportunity to direct. In 1971, Adams moved onto another genre-spoof TV series, The Partners, in which he played police detective Lennie Crook. Hampered by weak scripts and a death-valley timeslot opposite All in the Family, The Partners perished after thirteen weeks. After this debacle, Adams found the going rough for a while, though he made a comfortable living with nightclub appearances and guest spots on such TV series as The Love Boat. He made no fewer than three attempts to revive Get Smart between 1980 and 1994, one of which actually resulted in a (very short-lived) weekly Fox network sitcom. Adams is best known to children of the 1980s as the voice of cartoondom's bionic blockhead, Inspector Gadget. Don Adams was the brother of another comic actor, the late Richard Yarmy; Adams' cousin Robert Karvelas played secret agent Larrabee on Get Smart.

It is tuff to go against the DEMS MOB.

"Thank you all for your support of Don and Teri. It means so much to them, I can't even tell you."

Thanks for posting this update and the background, Physicist. It continues to be an important issue on FR.

Best to Don and Teri.

I know Teri especially appreciates our prayers for her and Don, their wellbeing, and their peace of mind and heart -- I'll bet especially now. This has to be nearly overwhelming.

And yet DON is the only one who has stood trial.

This harrassment of the victims is not an isolated incident -- look at what happened to RaceBannon, who declined to press charges, but the perp did, and is now successfully harrassing him.

Bump!

[Old Professer]

I'm a bit foggy in my recollection but is the current action an appeal of a judgement against them for the $62,000+ legal fees submitted by the Teamsters which would essentially punish and nearly bankrupt the victims in this case, or have I made a wrong turn?

[Perdogg]

"Woudda believe that?"

[AGreatPer]

It would be nice if Don and Terri could go to the Freeper Ball2 this year.
